Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage due to certain reasons before birth, during birth, in early infancy, or in adulthood. It is characterized by central motor disorders and abnormal postures, and may be accompanied by intellectual disability, recurrent seizures, abnormal sensory perception, and other abnormalities. It can affect intellectual and developmental growth. The first treatment for cerebral palsy is medication, which repairs the brain through medication to suppress and treat the condition. Family members can also help patients perform special training, such as stretching and pulling exercises, to completely restore muscle strength.
