Question
A late-married couple recently welcomed their son, but the child was diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy, showing symptoms of delayed intellectual development. Although they have sought treatment from multiple hospitals, the results have been unsatisfactory. How should pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?
Answer
The ideal treatment and recovery period for cerebral palsy should begin within the first 6 months after birth. However, many children miss the golden period of recovery due to various reasons, one of which is that parents may believe that the child is too young and that motor or posture development will naturally improve with age, leading to passive waiting and missing the best treatment opportunity. Therefore, early intervention is crucial for treating pediatric cerebral palsy, to seize the golden period of recovery and achieve the best treatment outcomes.
