Can children with cerebral palsy be rehabilitated?

Patient's question:

My friend's child is very cute, but they are still so big and haven't learned to walk yet. They also don't respond very quickly and are slower than their peers. Later, when they went to the hospital for a check-up, they found out that the child has cerebral palsy. Can cerebral palsy in children be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy can affect the growth and development of affected children, causing intellectual disability, behavioral abnormalities, and other issues. Active treatment is necessary to improve symptoms and enhance quality of life. Treatment includes medications such as neurotrophic drugs, lecithin, amino acids, and vitamins. Comprehensive rehabilitation training, such as gross motor skills, fine motor skills, balance training, and coordination exercises, is also part of the treatment. Parents should actively cooperate with physicians to assist children with turning over, crawling, holding objects, and other movements. It is important to prevent colds and avoid accidents such as falls, bedridden situations, and burns.
