Question

Can a child’s cerebral palsy be cured?

Answer

Cerebral palsy, also known as brain palsy, typically refers to a non-progressive central nervous system movement disorder caused by various reasons, such as brain damage or developmental abnormalities, occurring before or within the first month after birth. According to current medical research, cerebral palsy is an irreversible condition and cannot be completely cured. However, through early diagnosis and appropriate treatments such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medication, patients’ motor functions and quality of life can be effectively improved. Additionally, patients need comprehensive education and rehabilitation training to help them better adapt to society and life.
