Patient's question:
My son has had cerebral palsy for more than half a year. It was discovered last year, and I feel extremely upset. I can't believe he has to suffer from such a disease. We have been treating it for over half a year, but the results are not significant. Here, I sincerely ask the experts for some good advice. Thank you!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 in abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, spasms, 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 speech production disorders, 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 unresponsive three months after birth, with no crawling movements when prone, or if the hands remain tightly clenched after four to six months of age, symptoms such as hurried gait or scissor gait may be observed. 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 enhance some 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, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. This helps promote the growth and development of brain cells, giving hope that a child's speech, walking ability, and intelligence can return to normal levels.
