Patient's question:
My aunt gave birth to a daughter last month, but it was supposed to be a happy occasion. However, after the child was born, the doctor conducted a routine examination and found that the child was somewhat abnormal. After a series of tests, it was confirmed that the child had cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy treatment should be comprehensive, not solved by a single method. Currently, there are several methods for treating cerebral palsy.1. Surgical therapy
Once cerebral palsy exhibits abnormal posture and movement, especially when the patient cannot stand or walk, surgical treatment is necessary. For children with spastic cerebral palsy, surgical treatment may improve limb function. The principle of surgical treatment is to reduce spasticity, restore and improve muscle strength balance, correct contracture deformities of muscles, joints, or bones, and create conditions for functional recovery.
2. Medication therapy
Modern medicine generally does not advocate the use of medication to treat cerebral palsy. Medications can be used to address accompanying symptoms or associated disorders as symptomatic treatment.
