Patient's question:
A friend of mine has a child who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy since last year. At first, they didn't pay much attention, but recently, it seems to be getting worse. What are the causes of cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is a highly prevalent condition among children, which has a serious impact on their physical health. Cerebral palsy, also known as brain paralysis, is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage and developmental defects, primarily characterized by motor disorders and abnormal postures. It is often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, perceptual and sensory impairments, communication disorders, behavioral abnormalities, and other abnormalities.Advice: Currently, the main treatment is comprehensive rehabilitation training, such as exercise-based programs, supplemented by electrotherapy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and medication, to improve prognosis.
