Patient's question:
Dear Doctor: My daughter was born on June 11, 2008, and is now 10 years old. When she was 6 months old, she had another episode of tics and was diagnosed with 'infantile spasms.' Initially, she could not sit or even walk, but after rehabilitation, she now has strength in her limbs and can run up and down stairs. However, her intelligence is very low. Can she receive dopamine?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, 10 girls, suffering from "severe childhood pain syndrome" since childhood, have undergone rehabilitation treatment, with limb movement recovering well, but with intellectual disability. Dopamine is primarily used to counter shock, and is particularly suitable for patients with shock accompanied by weakened heart contraction and increased urine output. It has little effect on complete intellectual recovery. For intellectual disability, except for a very small number of patients with clear etiology who can be treated early, the vast majority of children reject teaching and training. The above suggestions are for the question "Dear Doctor: My daughter was born in 2008," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
