Patient's question:
Daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy from birth, which made me feel like the sky was about to collapse. Her development was much slower than that of her peers. She couldn't stand steadily until she was over a year old. She also didn't eat well at meals and spoke in a babbling manner with unclear pronunciation, unable even to call "Mom." What medication is used for children with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive brain injury syndrome caused by various reasons from birth to one month after birth. The causes of this disease are complex and diverse, many of which are primarily caused by prenatal factors in the mother, such as intrauterine infections and intrauterine developmental delay, including trauma during pregnancy and the mother's tenth multiple pregnancy. It can lead to cerebral palsy. The clinical treatment goal of cerebral palsy is to maximize the function of children to improve their quality of life, minimize secondary joint deformities and soft tissue contractures as much as possible, and avoid or delay surgical treatment as much as possible. Physical therapy is conducted to increase joint mobility, regulate muscle tone, improve control and coordination, perform orthopedic therapy, soft tissue stretching, etc., as well as regular fine motor exercises to gradually master the basic daily living skills.
