Cerebral palsy in children is caused by damage during the acute developmental period of the brain, which affects the creation of movement programs and leads to motor dysfunction. However, the brain of children has strong plasticity, and through treatment, better functional recovery can be achieved. The most effective method for treating cerebral palsy is comprehensive treatment, which should include medication, surgery, rehabilitation, and more advanced treatments such as neural stem cell grafting, among multidisciplinary comprehensive therapies. Generally, the best treatment results are observed within the first three years of age. Additionally, individualized treatment plans should be developed for each child.
