Question
Newborns exhibiting abnormal behaviors, such as not crying, not fussing, difficulty in feeding, weak sucking, and swallowing difficulties, are diagnosed with congenital cerebral palsy. They are currently undergoing medication treatment, but the effects are limited. Can congenital cerebral palsy be completely cured?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a congenital condition that cannot be cured completely in medical terms. The treatments provided by hospitals mainly include rehabilitation training, medication, surgery, and massage, but these methods are difficult to directly affect the affected area, hence the limited effectiveness. However, through appropriate rehabilitation training, patients’ ability to live independently can be significantly improved, allowing them to achieve goals such as self-care, education, work, dating, and marriage. In fact, many cerebral palsy patients can enter renowned universities through college entrance exams and even study abroad.
