The father of one full of joy, after learning that their baby has just come to the minds of the world when there are problems, tears, “Save my child!” This is a hospital in a true. For a family, with children suffering from cerebral palsy, the same spirit to carry a huge burden of heavy financial burden. Parents will be forced to seek medical attention running everywhere, and it could even fooled.
Your in the “three early”
Yan Oi Hospital of Shanghai Shen Yucheng children with cerebral palsy expert Professor: children with cerebral palsy to achieve the best therapeutic effect, it is necessary to achieve the “three long”, that is, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. She said that because 70% to 80% of pediatric patients with cerebral palsy, hypoxic by perinatal asphyxia, caused factors such as intracranial hemorrhage caused by brain damage, brain injury are considered risk factors for cerebral palsy. Early detection of children with cerebral palsy should, we should have a history of brain damage focus monitoring high-risk groups.
Because the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy different time sooner or later, to varying degrees, we now rely on parents of children with early detection there are certain difficulties. In his view, the high-risk infants paediatricians consecutive meticulous observation, the early detection of cerebral palsy plays a vital role. He also reminded a brain injury at birth parents of infants in the birth of a child a month, 3 months, 6 months, should be regularly associated with children to the pediatric examination, take precautions.
Professor Shen said that once a child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the parents do not pessimism, we should immediately conditional children to the formal hospital treatment, There are a variety of treatment methods can cerebral palsy, but stressed that the treatment is started sooner the better.
Treatment to fight a “protracted war”
Professor Shen pointed out that the treatment of cerebral palsy is a slow process, parents must not no illusions that by taking medicine or do an operation, we can cure your disease. Only under the guidance of a doctor on a regular basis, combined therapy is the only correct choice.
After years of effort, Professor Shen Yucheng the treatment of children with cerebral palsy and research done a lot of fruitful work, especially in recent years, preventive health care Branch, a pediatrician and physical medicine rehabilitation collaboration on 100 cases of cerebral palsy high-risk infants to early intervention, received very good results. He exhorted the children with parents, because the treatment of cerebral palsy children in the growth and development process, we need to continue for a fairly long period of time, therefore, rely on a doctor’s efforts, we can not fundamentally solve the problem, only in close collaboration with the parents, if it is desired effect. Professor Shen said, in children with cerebral palsy, spastic most common, accounting for about 70 percent to 80 percent. She suggested that parents with children go to the hospital for regular treatment at the same time, but also, under the guidance of the doctors learn some family rehabilitation training methods. Example: For the spastic children, the children can not hold a straight hold, should we let him riding on the legs or parents waist; children will be sleeping on both sides of the scapula pad up or allow lateral; speak with the children, to take his parallel position; so that rehabilitation training throughout the child’s daily life.
At present, the children with their rehabilitation training, the main use is imported from abroad to the development of neural-based integrated therapy treatment, to correct abnormalities in children with the campaign mode, and help them establish a normal campaign mode.
The most important rehabilitation training
Professor Shen said, he said that the treatment of cerebral palsy There are many ways, including Chinese massage, Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine, such as Point-injection. Western medicine with exercise therapy, language training, physical therapy, cognitive education and with the necessary drugs, surgery. She pointed out that as cerebral palsy mainly for motor dysfunction in the main, often combined mental deficiency, epilepsy, serious or even chewing swallowing, and other obstacles, is a syndrome, so treatment should adopt comprehensive measures. Professor Shen said that, in the treatment of the specific cases to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, we must address the specific circumstances of the child determine the method of treatment. For instance, orthopedic surgery, a large secondary age barriers, surgical indications of a child can do.
Experts agreed that in the treatment of cerebral palsy, although many ways, but rehabilitation is the main and most effective, such as drug treatment is secondary and only play a supporting role. Experts also believe that the cerebral palsy treatment for older children, the functional improvement more difficult, but as long as they stick rehabilitation training, children’s function is an improvement.
