Question
What are the treatment methods for pediatric cerebral palsy? Where can pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy should ideally begin before the age of 4, and no later than 6 years old. This is because the central nervous system of infants and young children has not yet fully matured, and their brain tissue has a strong capacity for regeneration. After damage occurs, various treatments can stimulate the brain through repeated processing, replacing and compensating through undamaged areas. Early treatment can improve symptoms of central nervous system developmental disorders, effectively suppress abnormal posture and movement patterns, and control limb spasticity and muscle atrophy, thereby improving overall motor function and intelligence. Parents play a crucial role in the treatment of cerebral palsy, must be patient, try to teach children to speak and interact, and should not be in a hurry to succeed, requiring repeated teaching. In any case, brain cells can always recover function through training.
