Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old this year and still cannot speak. I haven't paid much attention to it, but recently I noticed that he walks abnormally, lifting his feet forward and backward, and says his legs hurt. His diet is also poor, and his intelligence is not as high as that of other children. However, when he was examined at the hospital, it was found that he has cerebral palsy. Can the condition be surgically treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Pediatric Cerebral Palsy1. Psychological treatment for children with cerebral palsy includes nurses using dialogue, questions and answers, as well as specific and effective scales or questionnaires to conduct psychological tests on children and their families to understand the psychological and behavioral aspects of the children and their relatives. The issue lies in adopting appropriate nursing measures based on the child's psychological problems. Nurses should also communicate with the child to alleviate their fear.

2. Surgical treatment of the disease: This is also a commonly used medical treatment method, but surgical treatment mainly includes muscle release, tendon lengthening, and selective spinal nerve neurotomy. By treating the spinal nerves, muscle tone in patients can be fully regulated, and the muscle tone of tendons and muscles can be as close to normal as possible.
