Question
How should pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?
Answer
The occurrence and development of pediatric cerebral palsy are related to abnormalities in brain development, secondary injuries, and metabolic disorders. Postpartum factors are also an important cause of cerebral palsy, such as hyperbilirubinemia in the neonatal period, seizures, and severe asphyxia. During pregnancy, the supplementation of nutrition is indispensable, especially trace elements. Zinc, iron, selenium, copper, and manganese are trace elements that may play specific roles in the development of cerebral palsy. Therefore, when treating pediatric cerebral palsy, it is necessary to consider comprehensive nutritional supplementation and the intake of trace elements.
