Patient's question:
My daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of one, and she has almost recovered for nearly two years now. Currently, she cannot walk independently and can only speak some simple words. I would like to take her to your hospital for a check-up to see if there are any medications that can help with her treatment.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, usually refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities due to various reasons from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. Seizures may also occur. Cerebral palsy can affect intelligence, and patients may have language disorders, difficulty in movement, etc. The earlier the treatment for cerebral palsy, the better. It is recommended to go to a neurology department hospital first and then to a rehabilitation department for rehabilitation treatment. Early intervention treatment can better control the condition.
