Patient's question:
Patient Age: A seven-year-old girl, who has had difficulty with her hands and feet since childhood, causing inconvenience in her daily life. Treatment History and Effect: She only saw a traditional Chinese medicine doctor when she was very young and took some medication. Due to poor family circumstances and her parents' lack of education, she was not taken seriously. Desired Help: She has not received any help.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cerebral palsy is a syndrome characterized by limb motor dysfunction and abnormal posture, caused by damage to the immature brain during the prenatal to early postnatal period. It is a non-progressive central nervous system injury and may be accompanied by intellectual, hearing, visual, and language impairments. Cerebral palsy is a disability, and any treatment can only improve function but not completely cure it. From the time of diagnosis, cerebral palsy patients should receive systematic rehabilitation and treatment. The motor dysfunction of cerebral palsy patients cannot be fully cured, so the principle of treatment is symptomatic treatment, focusing on improving motor dysfunction to restore normal walking posture and gait.
