Question
Can pediatric cerebral palsy be cured?
Answer
The chances of curing pediatric cerebral palsy are slim, but treatment should still be pursued aggressively to help the child approach normalcy as much as possible. In cerebral palsy patients, inflammation of the central nervous system is permanent and irreversible, meaning that after brain nerve damage, it is impossible to regenerate or repair the brain nerves, so cerebral palsy cannot be cured on its own. For the treatment of cerebral palsy, the sooner it is detected and treated, the greater the child’s chance of a complete recovery to normalcy.
