Patient's question:
My aunt is also quite unlucky. She didn't have her little son until she was in her forties. However, when she was pregnant, it was discovered that the baby wasn't very healthy. But my aunt still fought hard to keep the child. Once the child was born, the doctor did some tests and said the child had cerebral palsy. But my aunt still wanted to raise the child.What kind of help is needed: How big is the harm to a child with general cerebral palsy? What are the general harms?
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of cerebral palsy is currently considered to have the best comprehensive evaluation of treatment effects, emphasizing medical rehabilitation, educational rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, and social rehabilitation. The specific content includes multidisciplinary comprehensive evaluation treatment methods such as drug therapy, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation therapy. Generally, the best treatment effects are observed in patients under the age of 3. As the patient's age increases, the treatment effect is relatively poorer. The treatment of cerebral palsy should be tailored to each child with an individualized treatment plan. First, multidisciplinary rehabilitation training should be implemented. If there are any issues that affect rehabilitation training or the child's growth and development, surgical intervention should be carried out, followed by focused rehabilitation training.
