Is there hope for recovery for a cerebral palsy child who is over a year old?

Patient's question:

My child has just been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and is currently undergoing treatment, but there has been no improvement so far. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel extremely desperate and think that my child has no hope. Can children with cerebral palsy recover?

Doctor's answer:

The severity of cerebral palsy also varies, depending on your child's specific condition. If it is not severe, after rehabilitation treatment, the recovery effect of each child is different. However, one thing is certain: treatment is always better than no treatment, so parents should not give up. Cerebral palsy patients under the age of three are considered the best period for treatment. Active systematic comprehensive rehabilitation is generally expected to have a good prognosis, but future rehabilitation should be combined with the patient's symptoms and laboratory tests.
