In the process of clinical treatment, we found that many cerebral palsy patients or their families are blind in choosing treatment methods. Because of the desire to seek medical treatment, they often waste a lot of energy and financial resources. It is a pity that they miss the best time for treatment. In view of this situation, we think it is necessary to remind cerebral palsy patients or their families. Treatment must be carefully chosen.
There are many types of
cerebral palsy, of which nearly 8 become spastic cerebral palsy, which can be treated surgically. There are many ways to treat cerebral palsy by surgery, and it is particularly important to choose the best timing and method of surgery. Many patients choose orthopedic rehabilitation methods, which can cause recurrence of deformities and spasms in a short time after surgery.
At present, comprehensive rehabilitation therapy is advocated in the treatment of cerebral palsy, that is, combined with surgical treatment, rehabilitation training and other treatment methods, to help patients improve their abnormalities as much as possible, to help patients obtain better living ability, and even some patients with better recovery can return to society.
Many parents of cerebral palsy patients will ask the same question when they see a doctor: Doctor, since cerebral palsy can not be cured, what is the significance of surgery?
Professor
Chang Chongwang’s answer: Although there is no effective way to help the injured brain tissue return to normal due to limb abnormalities caused by brain injury, it can improve the patient’s abnormalities as much as possible through rehabilitation treatment, and help patients narrow the gap between normal children as much as possible, all of which can not be separated from surgical intervention.
In short, although surgery can not improve the brain injury of patients, it can improve the limb abnormalities caused by brain injury. Although it can not solve the problem from the root, it can minimize the harm caused by cerebral palsy. Taking the most common spastic cerebral palsy in clinic as an example, the main cause of symptoms in patients with spastic cerebral palsy is abnormal muscle tension caused by brain injury. Surgery can adjust the abnormal muscle tension of patients and provide the possibility for patients to recover.
Of course, surgery is necessary for patients to improve their own abnormalities, but surgery alone is difficult to achieve results, patients must undergo regular rehabilitation training to maintain the effect of surgery and maximize the improvement of their abnormalities.
Generally speaking, surgery is essential in the treatment of cerebral palsy, if children with cerebral palsy want to improve their own abnormalities, surgery can not be bypassed.
