Patient's question:
The baby seems to have hearing problems, as she doesn't respond much when called. Her gaze is vacant, and she still cannot speak. She also struggles to stand and walk. It's very strange. She eats very slowly. The doctor at the hospital conducted tests and said that her daughter has cerebral palsy, requiring rehabilitation treatment. Can children with cerebral palsy be cured?Doctor's answer:
The key to treating childhood cerebral palsy lies in early detection and early treatment. Childhood cerebral palsy is primarily caused by the damage and death of brain neuron cells due to hypoxia and ischemia in the brain before or after birth. Therefore, the treatment for cerebral palsy mainly focuses on repairing and regenerating the damaged brain neuron cells, which can fundamentally treat cerebral palsy. Rehabilitation training and medication cannot repair damaged cells, so stem cell transplantation is the only way to repair damaged neuron cells and fundamentally treat cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is difficult to cure, and attention should be paid to brain lesions. After damage to the developing brain, corresponding symptoms will inevitably appear. The early symptoms of childhood cerebral palsy are related to the severity of brain injury. If the brain injury is mild, the symptoms will appear later and be milder.
