What should be done if a newborn suffers from infantile cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

I just had a baby, and the whole family is very happy. Accompanied by my family, I went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and learned that my child has cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment of Cerebral Palsy: Medication
Commonly used medications include neurotrophic drugs and muscle relaxants. Medication treatment is only used when necessary and cannot replace functional training. Extensive research and clinical practice have proven that intramuscular injection of type A botulinum toxin is a safe and effective method for treating spasticity. The effect of reducing spasticity generally lasts for 3 to 8 months, at which point individualized comprehensive treatment should be promptly initiated, such as functional muscle strength training, soft tissue stretching, wearing orthotics, and more, to fully leverage the maximum recovery opportunity brought by reduced muscle tone. Spasticity will gradually increase 4 to 6 months after injection, but the improvement in motor function usually does not disappear, and reinjection can be considered if necessary.
