Question

My baby is 7 months old. A CT scan showed mild peripheral hydrocephalus, and the doctor said it’s cerebral palsy. The child’s language ability is normal, but gross motor skills are delayed compared to peers. I would like to know how treatment is generally conducted under current circumstances?

Answer

Early detection and early treatment are crucial for children with cerebral palsy, as early treatment is more beneficial. The main treatment methods include improving abnormal posture and movement, inhibiting abnormal reflexes, which can include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, bioelectric muscle strength treatment, and exercise correction to correct abnormal posture training. Cerebral palsy rehabilitation is a long-term process, and parents need to cooperate with professional training institutions for treatment. Family rehabilitation is of utmost importance. Additionally, for children who still have hand clenching, anxious gait, or scissor gait after 4-6 months of birth, consider taking Longnao Kang to promote brain development, which may help restore the child’s language, walking, and intellectual development to normal levels.
