Patient's question:
My cousin's child was born with cerebral palsy. However, the child was not checked at birth. By the time the child was two years old, they still couldn't walk and couldn't even stand steadily. Gradually, a series of symptoms appeared. Now, their child is already in school, and it makes me feel anxious. How is congenital cerebral palsy treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The key to treating cerebral palsy in children lies in early detection and early treatment. Cerebral palsy in children is primarily caused by damage and death of brain neuron cells due to hypoxia and ischemia in the brain before or after birth. Therefore, the treatment for cerebral palsy mainly focuses on repairing and regenerating the damaged brain neuron cells. Only in this way can cerebral palsy be treated at its root. Rehabilitation training and medication cannot repair damaged cells. Thus, stem cell transplantation is the only way to repair damaged neuron cells, thereby treating cerebral palsy at its root! Generally, the best treatment outcomes are seen in children under the age of 3. The patients are relatively older. Compared to younger patients, the treatment outcomes are relatively poorer.
