Question
A child with spastic cerebral palsy, with more severe symptoms on the right side, has not yet learned to stand independently at the age of five. The child’s intelligence is normal, the left hand is flexible, and the parents inquire whether surgery is suitable for treatment.
Answer
The treatment of cerebral palsy is complex, mainly involving brain function training and limb movement rehabilitation. Treatment primarily relies on physical training, and parents need to be patient in teaching their children to speak and think, without rushing to achieve results. Medications, acupuncture, and physical therapy only play a supportive role. There is currently no effective drug for brain regeneration, and it should not be wasted time searching for a miracle drug, as this may miss the opportunity for recovery. Medication use should be guided by a doctor.
