Question
My sister gave birth to a daughter last month. When she was born, the hospital said she had jaundice and she was treated with blue light therapy. Later, she noticed that her baby was particularly quiet and slept a lot, and she vomited several times a day. After going to the hospital for checks, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. What treatment methods are available for cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy, commonly referred to as brain palsy, is typically a non-progressive motor disorder of the central nervous system caused by various reasons leading to brain damage or developmental abnormalities from before birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia, often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral impairments, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and can also include seizures. For non-progressive central nervous system motor disorders caused by various reasons one month after birth, it is recommended to develop good habits of regular sleep and wake-up times, including short naps during the day. Ensure a diet rich in nutrition, with an abundance of protein-rich foods, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins.
