Can cerebral palsy in infants be treated to some extent?

Patient's question:

My baby is three and a half months old and is a premature infant. Recently, I noticed that he has been spitting up milk, has a vacant look in his eyes, and doesn't move much. I took him to the doctor, who said he has cerebral palsy. Can this condition be treated?

Doctor's answer:

The cure rate for infantile cerebral palsy is very low. Currently, there is no effective method for treatment. Parents can induce the child's worldview of external things and cultivate the child's self-care ability through more communication with the child, enabling them to recover socially. Additionally, most children with cerebral palsy have motor movement disorders. Parents should target specific physical training for the child to promote joint growth and development. Mutual coordination with local physical therapy will also be helpful.
