Question

The baby’s symptoms include hearing problems, lack of focus, unsteady gait, and slow eating. The doctor diagnosed it as cerebral palsy. Can the condition be improved through treatment?

Answer

The key to treating pediatric cerebral palsy is early detection and early treatment. Cerebral palsy is primarily caused by brain damage due to hypoxia and ischemia, resulting in the injury of brain nerve cells. Rehabilitation training and medication cannot repair damaged cells, but stem cell transplantation may be a fundamental method for treating cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy treatment is challenging and requires close attention to brain changes. After the developing brain is damaged, corresponding symptoms will inevitably appear, and these early symptoms are related to the extent of brain damage.
