Patient's question:
The child is two and a half years old. Since three and a half months of check-up, it was discovered that the child has cerebral palsy, and has been treated for over two years with poor efficacy. The child still cannot stand and has difficulty speaking. Over the past two and a half years, three MRI scans have been taken, all showing cerebellar atrophy with no improvement. I wonder if the child's age, at such a young age, will the cerebellar atrophy affect his life.Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding cerebellar atrophy, modern medicine still does not have an effective treatment for this disease; it can only alleviate symptoms, slow down the progression of the disease, and symptoms cannot be reversed. Therefore, surgery is also ineffective. As a result, only one treatment principle can be provided. 1. Promote normal development and inhibit and improve abnormal movements and postures. 2. Comprehensive treatment, adopting multiple effective methods to provide comprehensive and diversified treatment for patients, in addition to treating motor disorders, it also involves treating language disorders, intellectual disability, and behavioral abnormalities. If epilepsy is present, it also needs to be treated. 3. Combine home training with doctor's guidance. 4. For the cause of the disease, use traditional Chinese medicine or herbal medicine to differentiate the disease, treat both the root and symptoms, regulate internal organs, nourish brain cells, and promote the development of brain tissue.
