Question
How should pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?
Answer
Pediatric cerebral palsy is a central nervous system motor disorder caused by various brain injuries, such as hypoxia and ischemia, occurring within the first year after birth. It manifests as motor impairments or abnormal posture. Children often suffer from epilepsy and other symptoms such as intellectual and visual impairments. Due to the varying degrees and locations of injury, children may exhibit different symptoms. Therefore, detailed treatment is necessary to assess the condition and develop personalized treatment plans. Adequate neurological nutritional medication treatment for children under 3 years old, timely recovery, and timely surgical intervention for children with cerebral palsy aged 3 to 6 are key to good prognosis, especially for the most common type of spastic cerebral palsy.
