What are the treatments for cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

The baby is premature. I was in labor for a day and a night, and it was incredibly painful. Due to the premature birth and oxygen deprivation, the baby has developed cerebral palsy due to poor brain development and white matter softening. What are the treatment methods for cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy is a disease that can be treated, but recovery to a normal state is quite difficult. Treatment can help patients further rehabilitate. Methods include: improving motor function by increasing joint mobility, adjusting muscle tone, enhancing motor control, coordination, strength, and endurance, thereby improving self-care abilities. Common techniques include: positional therapy, soft tissue stretching, muscle tone adjustment, functional active movement strengthening training, strength and endurance training, balance and coordination control, etc.
