Patient's question:
Recently, my aunt was happy because she had given birth to a big, chubby baby, but later she found that something was wrong with the child. The child would stick out its tongue and couldn't move. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it was cerebral palsy. Now she is looking for a treatment method.Doctor's answer:
What is known as cerebral palsy refers to permanent abnormalities in body posture and movement caused by certain damage and injuries before the growth and development of the brain. These posture and movement abnormalities persist as the child grows. For children with cerebral palsy, multidisciplinary rehabilitation training should be conducted first. If there are issues affecting rehabilitation training or the child's growth and development, surgical intervention should be performed, followed by continued rehabilitation training. The treatment primarily focuses on controlling inflammation, reducing edema, improving local circulation, and alleviating nerve compression. Specific treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and acupuncture can be used. For brain diseases like cerebral palsy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment is recommended. TCM treatment for brain diseases has its unique advantages. Chinese medicine promotes blood circulation and resolves blood stasis.
