Question
What are the best treatments for pediatric cerebral palsy? How should pediatric cerebral palsy be treated?
Answer
In response to your question, considering cerebral palsy, also known as brain palsy, is a comprehensive syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage and growth and development defects from birth to infancy. The treatment for cerebral palsy includes two aspects: brain treatment and specialized methods. Since it is a sequelae, it generally does not rely on medication or surgery but mainly on physical activity. The activity of the brain is practice, and parents need to work hard to teach their children to speak and walk. They cannot be anxious; they need to repeat the teaching ten times, a hundred times. The surviving brain cells can always be trained to function. In this regard, medication, acupuncture, and physical therapy only play a supportive role.
