How to continue treatment for cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

Hello, the child has difficulty swallowing, poor oral closure, and uncoordinated or asymmetrical movements. Muscle tone abnormalities occur frequently. Is it cerebral palsy? How should the treatment for cerebral palsy continue?

Doctor's answer:

This is a nerve root transection surgery, also known as spr. After the surgery, children with cerebral palsy can stand and walk. However, the surgery itself can also cause damage. Rehabilitation training at home is helpful, but the effect may not be very significant—it might slightly improve the current condition. First, a neurologist needs to evaluate the child's condition, such as intelligence, language, daily living activities, and motor skills, to provide reasonable advice and treatment. Functional training, such as intellectual, language, and daily living activities, is the main treatment method. Medications can be used as neurotrophic drugs, muscle relaxants, and blood-activating drugs, among others. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture can also be used.
