What should I do if my child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, primarily caused by jaundice. He cannot hold anything and cannot speak. He has severe equinus, scissor gait, and high muscle tone. Can NCR be used for regenerative treatment? Contact me, urgently.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Generally, the best treatment effect is achieved within the age of 3. If the patient is older, the treatment effect tends to be relatively poorer. The treatment for cerebral palsy should be tailored to each child with an individualized treatment plan. First, multidisciplinary rehabilitation training should be conducted. If there are any issues that affect the rehabilitation training or the child's growth and development, surgical intervention may be necessary, followed by continued rehabilitation training. The most typical symptom of spastic cerebral palsy in children is excessive muscle tone, often "toe walking." If the child has lower limb issues, selective posterior rhizotomy can be adopted to improve lower limb problems. After surgery, combined with rehabilitation training, it can maximize the recovery of voluntary motor function.
