What are the treatment methods for cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My friend gave birth to my baby, and the baby was premature. I was in labor for a day and a night before giving birth, and it was incredibly painful. The baby also suffered from brain development issues and cerebral palsy due to oxygen deprivation caused by the premature birth and white matter softening. What are the treatment methods for cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy:
1. Difficulty with feeding after birth, such as weak sucking ability and swallowing difficulties.
2. Lack of coordination, asymmetry, and few voluntary movements.
3. Delayed motor development. For example, a child aged 3–4 months cannot hold their head up while lying prone; after 4 months, they still cannot use their forearms to support weight; both hands are often clenched into fists, and they cannot open their hands to suck; by 6–7 months, they still cannot roll over or sit independently for a short period.
