Patient's question:
Hello expert, my baby was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was over one year old, and it hasn't improved until now. Can cerebral palsy in children be cured? Can cerebral palsy be treated?Doctor's answer:
Great! Rehabilitation training cannot solve spastic cerebral palsy because patients with spastic cerebral palsy have high muscle tone, difficulty in limb movement, and cannot control joint movements, making it hard to cooperate with rehabilitation training. Simple rehabilitation training cannot resolve the main contradiction of spastic cerebral palsy—muscle spasm. Therefore, it is necessary to combine it with treatment measures such as surgery to relieve spasm.Advice: Hello, cerebral palsy is not an issue of hands or feet; it is a problem where the relevant neural centers in the brain cannot effectively control the body. Do not easily opt for surgery, as it is like planting a seed and then uprooting it—counterproductive. In this case, long-term adherence to functional training is the correct approach. I suggest you seek diagnosis and treatment at a formal hospital. If you persist with rehabilitation therapy, there is still a possibility of improvement.
