What should I do about childbirth brachial plexus palsy?

  As the material living standard of our people continues to improve and increase, more and more fetuses are born with a much higher than normal postnatal weight, which can very easily cause obstructed labor during delivery, resulting in different degrees of upper limb dysfunction due to damage to the pediatric brachial plexus nerve from excessive compression or clavicle fracture. According to national epidemiological statistics, the incidence of this disease ranges from 0.87 to 4 per 1,000. Generally, parents will find varying degrees of upper limb dysfunction as soon as the child is born, and early and immediate effective comprehensive treatment after diagnosis by a physician can minimize the sequelae. The treatment of birth-related brachial plexus palsy has been extensively researched and explored over the years. Generally, conservative treatment is given first, followed by surgery. Without timely and good treatment, the child may be left with a lifelong disability that can seriously affect his or her life.  In today’s medical field, brachial plexus nerve injury is a major topic that microsurgeons and hand surgeons need to focus on, and it is also a major challenge for acupuncturists at this stage. Because of the complex anatomy of the brachial plexus nerve, the different planes and degrees of injury, and the slow neuromuscular recovery, the treatment of this disease in modern medicine is unsatisfactory and the prognosis is poor. Most scholars now believe that there is a very significant recovery of the brachial plexus nerve function in the first 3 months after the birth injury of the affected child, and a relatively slow recovery of function in the next 6 to 12 months.
