What happens if cerebral palsy is not treated in time?

Patient's question:

My colleague had a child, and the child is quite adorable. At first glance, there's nothing different from a normal child, but if you look closely, you'll notice something wrong. It's said that the child has cerebral palsy. What would happen if it wasn't treated in time?

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 speech production disorders, as well as strabismus. Approximately one-third of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy causes delayed motor development. If a child is still inactive and unresponsive after three months of birth, lacks crawling movements when prone, and still grips tightly with their hands at four to six months of age, or exhibits a (shuāngzhāng bùtài - agitated gait) or (jiǎndāo bùtài - scissors gait), etc. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and thus cannot produce direct therapeutic effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mild intellectual disabilities and partially enhance motor skills. These methods, which treat symptoms rather than the root cause, cannot resolve the fundamental issue. TCM Guilongnaokang can directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This (yǒulì yú - is beneficial to) promoting the growth and development of brain cells, giving hope that a child's speech, walking ability, and intelligence may return to normal levels.
