Patient's question:
If a child suffers from cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy often occurs before birth or during infancy. The causes include: birth injuries, neonatal kernicterus, brain hypoxia, premature birth, and other symptoms. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone and difficulty with abduction. In severe cases, muscle rigidity, spasms, and joint flexion can be observed. In mild cases, fine motor skills in the hands are poor, and the heels cannot touch the ground when walking. These patients often have language development and dysarthria, as well as strabismus. About one-third of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy causes delayed motor development. After three months of birth, the child remains inactive and lethargic, without crawling movements when prone. After four to six months of birth, the hands remain tense, and the gait may be a fidgety or scissor gait. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cannot produce direct effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disabilities and improve some motor skills. These symptomatic treatment methods cannot solve the root problem. TCM Gu-Long-Nao-Kang can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, anti-cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. It is beneficial for promoting the growth and development of brain cells, giving hope for the child to regain normal levels of speech, walking, and intelligence.
