Patient's question:
How effective is the use of rat nerve growth factor for children with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child suffers from cerebral palsy, which typically develops before birth or during infancy. The causes include: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, hypoxia; premature birth, etc. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractures, and joint flexion. In mild cases, fine motor skills in the hands are poor, and the heels do not 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 can cause delayed motor development. If the child is not active or mobile after 3 months of birth, and there are no crawling movements of hands and feet when prone, or if the hands remain tightly clenched after 4-6 months of birth, symptoms such as hurried gait and scissor gait may occur. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cannot produce direct pharmacological effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities and partially enhance motor skills. These methods that treat symptoms rather than the root cause cannot solve the fundamental problem. TCM Guilongnaokang can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, anti-cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation, which is beneficial for promoting the growth and development of brain cells. There is hope that the child's speech, walking, and intelligence can return to normal levels.
