Question
Can pediatric cerebral palsy be cured?
Answer
Cerebral palsy often develops before birth or in infancy, with mild cases showing poor fine motor skills in the hands, such as not being able to put the heel down while walking. These patients often have language development and articulation disorders, as well as strabismus. Approximately one-third of patients have varying degrees of tics and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can lead to delayed motor development. By three months of age, they may still not be very active, not moving much, and lying on their back without any crawling movements; by four to six months after birth, their hands may still be clenched. They may exhibit hurried gait or scissor gait, etc. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cannot produce direct pharmacological effects. Recovery training can only help reduce the deliberate imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities, and stabilize some motor abilities.
