Patient's question:
The child was previously diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the hospital. Later, they received treatment there for a period of time, but it seemed that there was no significant change.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cerebral palsy in children is generally manifested clinically as limb movement disorders, language disorders, auditory disorders, or intellectual developmental deficiencies. The treatment of cerebral palsy in the early stage is primarily focused on rehabilitation therapy. Once the child is over 3 years old, if they have spastic cerebral palsy with high muscle tone, surgery is often the best option to alleviate it. However, if the child has flaccid paralysis, ataxic cerebral palsy, or athetoid cerebral palsy, these are not currently indications for surgery, and the main treatment should be rehabilitation exercises. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an adjunctive therapy.
