Patient's question:
The child next door is very beautiful, with big eyes. However, it's quite pitiful that he was born with cerebral palsy. Both his parents were heartbroken, but neither of them gave up on him. However, they couldn't understand why their child would have cerebral palsy. I'd like to help them ask about it.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy typically 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, spasms, 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 speech production disorders, as well as strabismus. Approximately one-third of patients experience varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy causes delayed motor development. If a child remains inactive and lethargic after three months of birth, shows no crawling movements when prone, or still grips tightly with their hands at four to six months of age, they may exhibit symptoms such as a (shānzhāng bùtài - agitated gait) or (jiǎndāo bùtài - scissors gait). Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and thus lack direct therapeutic effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disabilities and enhance some motor skills. These methods treat symptoms but not the root cause. TCM's Guī-Lóng-Nǎo-Kāng can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This supports the growth and development of brain cells, offering hope for children to regain normal speech, walking ability, and cognitive function.
