Patient's question:
Where is the best hospital for treating cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy usually occurs before birth or during infancy, with causes including: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia, and premature birth. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractions, and joints maintaining a flexed position. 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. Approximately one-third of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can cause delayed motor development. If a child is still inactive and uncooperative three months after birth, and shows no crawling movements when prone, or if the hands remain tightly clenched four to six months after birth, symptoms such as hurried gait and scissor gait may appear. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and thus cannot produce direct pharmacological effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disabilities, as well as partially enhance motor skills. These methods, which treat symptoms rather than the root cause, cannot solve the fundamental problem. TCM Guilongnaokang can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, counteracting cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This is beneficial for promoting the growth and development of brain cells, giving hope that the child's speech, walking ability, and intelligence can return to normal levels.
