How can i control or lessen a spastic hemiparesis?

i have a spastic hemiparesis that makes my leg shake and want to know how to calm it
Answer:
Spastic Hemiparesis (associated with corticospinal tract disease, as with stroke) is when the spasticity is limited to one side of the body or another. So one leg and one arm are affected (right or left side). Individuals with spastic hemiparesis may also experience hemiparetic tremors, in which uncontrollable shaking affects the limbs on one side of the body. If these tremors are severe, they can seriously impair movement.Experimental surgical technique - stereotaxic thalamotomy which involves precise cutting of parts of the thalamus and serves as the brains relay station for messages from the muscles and sensory organs. This has been shown effective only for reducing hemiparetic tremors--uncontrollable shaking affecting the limbs on the spastic side of the body in those who have spastic hemiplegia.
Maybe there are other ways to treat it but you better talk about it with your doctor...All the best!

It deals with occupational therapy, oral medications and intramuscular injections. One of the medications mentioned is Baclofen as suggested by the first answerer.
