Patient's question:
My son has cerebral palsy. His hands cannot straighten. He cannot sit upright. He cannot stand with his toes touching the ground. He is hyperactive. His intelligence is normal. He can speak simple words, such as "Dad." He has been to the hospital for check-ups, but the results have not been significant. What kind of help do you want: What are the treatment methods for cerebral palsy in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for cerebral palsy involves two aspects: one is treating the brain, and the other is treating the disease. Since it is a sequelae, it usually does not rely on medication or surgery but primarily on exercise. The brain's movement is being learned. Parents should try to teach their children to speak and interact. They should not be impatient. They should teach them over and over again. The brain cells of the deceased can always be trained to function. In this regard, medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy can only play a supporting role. Regarding the child's condition, I strongly recommend that active treatment be carried out under the guidance and advice of a doctor.
