Question
A friend who is about to give birth discovered during her prenatal check-up that the fetus may have cerebral palsy, caused by early medication. Since the fetus is too large, an abortion is not possible, and delivery is the only option. Question: Can cerebral palsy in infants be cured?
Answer
Cerebral palsy in infants cannot be completely cured at present, but through comprehensive treatments such as rehabilitation training, massage, and medication, it is possible to bring the child as close to normal levels as possible. Although medical development is limited, medication primarily serves as an auxiliary treatment. Rehabilitation training and stem cell transplantation therapy are the key to treatment. Stem cell transplantation therapy involves injecting healthy stem cells intravenously or transplanting them into the child’s body, aiming to repair damaged cells or reconstruct normal cells and tissues.
