Diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy We would like to remind parents that early and timely detection of cerebral palsy plays an extremely important role in rehabilitation treatment. Therefore, if parents find that their baby has suspected symptoms of cerebral palsy, such as low or abnormally increased activity, weakness of limbs, difficulty in feeding, frequent choking, and obvious delay in motor function development, they should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to receive systematic examination to facilitate early rehabilitation and future functional improvement of the child. Generally speaking, the following tests are necessary to confirm the diagnosis of cerebral palsy in children: 1. 2.Inquire whether there is any history of upper motor neuron dysplasia or damage, such as premature birth, difficult birth, high fever, cerebral ischemia, cerebral hypoxia, cranial injury, brain infection, etc. If the child is diagnosed with cerebral palsy according to the clinical performance, the following auxiliary examinations are required: (1) intelligence test; (2) electroencephalography; (3) brainstem auditory evoked potential measurement; (4) imaging and other examinations to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of children with cerebral palsy focuses on early examination and diagnosis, so that early treatment can play a decisive role in the child’s motor development and treatment outcome. Because cerebral palsy requires long-term rehabilitation, some people take advantage of this and the parents’ eagerness to cure the disease and carry out long-term so-called “treatment” for the purpose of making profits. Therefore, please keep in mind that you should not easily believe in those so-called secret ancestral prescriptions. If your child does not receive regular scientific treatment in time, it will have irreversible adverse effects. Regardless of the type of pediatric cerebral palsy, our treatment principle is rehabilitation combined with surgery, which requires timely detection and intervention of the disease along with comprehensive treatment. In other words, the earlier the cerebral palsy is detected and the more timely the rehabilitation treatment is, the greater the improvement of the child’s function in all aspects. For children with spastic cerebral palsy, which has the highest clinical incidence, the symptoms of high muscle tone become more pronounced as they get older, and it is impossible to achieve the desired effect through medication or physical means, but instead, attention should be paid to the counterproductive effect. The most scientific way to treat spastic cerebral palsy is to follow the treatment pathway of “rehabilitation-FSPR surgery-CPMMA surgery-rehabilitation” in order to achieve the ideal treatment effect. In other words, children with spastic cerebral palsy should insist on regular rehabilitation until they are 2.5 years old to prevent the occurrence of limb deformities; from 2.5 years old to 6 years old, which is the best time for surgical treatment, they should first be treated with FSPR surgery (functional selective posterior spinal nerve root dissection) to stabilize and effectively reduce excessive muscle tone and release spasticity, and then determine whether they need the second stage of cerebral palsy surgery (cerebral palsy muscle strength and tone Then, we will determine whether the second stage of cerebral palsy surgery (cerebral palsy muscle tone adjustment, i.e. CP-MMA surgery) is needed for limb correction. After the surgery is completed, long-term standardized rehabilitation will be continued. It is important to note that during the treatment of cerebral palsy, there is often a “treatment paralysis” phase where the child may not respond as well as he or she did before treatment. In fact, this temporary paralysis is often a prelude to the climax of treatment, and the effects of treatment will be evident after this phase. Therefore, parents of children should be prepared for this and persevere, and not give up halfway.
