Question
At three years old, the child can’t sit or walk and has limited mobility. What are some effective treatment methods for pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a brain disorder characterized by increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, symptoms such as muscle rigidity, spasms, and joints remaining in a Bend position. It is also accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral impairments, as well as secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. Epileptic seizures may also occur. While a complete cure for cerebral palsy remains challenging, appropriate treatment methods can still offer opportunities to control and alleviate symptoms. Currently, the recommended approach for treating cerebral palsy involves the use of traditional Chinese medicine to relieve the patient’s current condition. Although complete recovery is difficult, treatment can help further improve the patient’s quality of life.
