Question
A three-year-old boy has been diagnosed with comprehensive cerebral palsy, and the parents want to know if there is hope for treatment for their child.
Answer
Regardless of the severity of the condition, patients with cerebral palsy have hope for treatment. Through systematic and correct treatment, the child’s condition can gradually improve. For severe cerebral palsy, the treatment goal is for the child to become self-sufficient; while for mild cerebral palsy, the goal is to achieve complete normalization and independence. Even in the most severe cases of cerebral palsy, after reaching the goal of self-sufficiency, if continuous training and treatment are maintained, impaired functions will gradually recover, and quality of life will also gradually improve. As long as one does not give up lightly and persists in treating the child, one will be surprised to witness the child’s continuous progress.
