Patient's question:
The children of the neighbors are already several years old, but so far they still cannot speak normally, and their intelligence is also somewhat low. Later, they were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and I don't know how much the treatment costs. How much does it cost to treat cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Children with cerebral palsy should show symptoms during infancy, and the earlier the symptoms appear, the more severe the condition. Cerebral palsy is a relatively serious disease. It refers to a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage due to certain reasons before birth, during birth, or in early infancy. Therefore, among all children with cerebral palsy, approximately 1/4 have normal intelligence, about 1/2 have mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, and a small proportion have severe intellectual disabilities.Recommendation: Early detection of cerebral palsy symptoms is beneficial for treatment. Mild cerebral palsy often occurs in the early stages, and common symptoms include difficulty in lifting the head and torso, as well as poor support in the limbs. Abnormal muscle tone and abnormal posture are also symptoms of mild cerebral palsy.
