What is the right direction for cerebral palsy treatment

  With the progress of society and the improvement of people’s living standards, the demand for rehabilitation treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy is increasing. In view of the current situation of pediatric cerebral palsy rehabilitation treatment in China, it is necessary to emphasize a scientific and rigorous attitude to prevent deviations.  1.Prevent over-emphasizing the uniqueness of a certain method and neglecting the comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, and better divide the professional techniques of PT, OT, ST, mental health, and traditional rehabilitation to form a gradient.  2. Prevent “assembly line” treatment and over-treatment. Comprehensive rehabilitation treatment must be individualized, selectively adopt different programs, and cooperate with each other rather than with all kinds of rehabilitation treatment.  3. Prevent drug abuse.  Regarding the application of hyperbaric oxygen, it is more often reported that hyperbaric oxygen is applied to neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, intracranial hemorrhage and other acute brain injury stages. For the treatment of cerebral palsy, the timing of treatment, the course of treatment, the pressure used, and the comprehensive treatment method should be grasped.  Stem cell transplantation therapy, and botulinum toxin A injection surgery should also be carefully selected.  It should be emphasized that the main channel of pediatric cerebral palsy rehabilitation is comprehensive rehabilitation training adapted to the growth and developmental characteristics of children, along with the adoption of appropriate adjunctive techniques. The concept of rehabilitation treatment is to promote the overall physical and mental development of the child, rather than simply pursuing the effect of correcting abnormal postures.
