Question
My niece’s daughter has cerebral palsy and was discovered when she was just over a year old. Now, our family has almost run through all the major hospitals in different places, and everyone says that it can only be treated and monitored, but not cured. Originally, having a child was a joyous occasion, but now it has caused my sister and her family a lot of distress. How do you treat pediatric cerebral palsy? I hope the doctor can recommend an effective method.
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a condition with generally poor prognosis. There is currently no effective treatment for severe cerebral palsy. Mild cases can gradually recover through rehabilitation training, and an assessment should be made according to the specific needs of the child. The rehabilitation for cerebral palsy mainly involves acupuncture combined with reasonable treatment. However, the effectiveness of the treatment is limited, and it is recommended to seek medical advice from professional hospitals.
