Patient's question:
The boy is still unable to speak or walk. His feet cannot be placed flat on the ground; he can only stand by lifting his heels. How should he be treated?Doctor's answer:
1. The best treatment for cerebral palsy requires "three early stages": early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. The optimal period for treating cerebral palsy is within the first 6 months, when the highest rate of normalization can be achieved. Next is before the age of 1, followed by before the age of 3. After the age of 3, the blood-brain barrier is fully formed, making it difficult for medications to act on the brain, so the therapeutic effect is significantly reduced. Your child is now over 2 years old and needs to act quickly.2. Methods for treating cerebral palsy: Currently, there are several main treatment methods, including pure rehabilitation training, surgery, traditional Chinese medicine combined with rehabilitation training, and cell transplantation. From the perspective of treatment methods, all treatments require the support of rehabilitation training. In terms of effectiveness, the best approach is the comprehensive therapy of traditional Chinese medicine combined with rehabilitation training.
