Question
What are the treatment methods for Down syndrome?
Answer
The treatment methods for Down syndrome primarily include intellectual training and motor function training to prevent complications and to adopt various rehabilitation methods. During the treatment process, attention should be paid to preventing infectious diseases and various infections. As of now, no medication has been developed that can improve the intelligence of patients with Down syndrome. Down syndrome is caused by a congenital chromosomal abnormality, with most patients having an incorrect genetic split in the twenty-first pair of chromosomes, resulting in an extra chromosome in the cell nucleus.
