Your spirit is at an abysmal low because your loved one suffers from the incurable curse of Cerebral Palsy. It is really painful to see the victim not able to overcome developmental disabilities.
But wait! There is good news for you and all those who are suffering a similar fate. Though CP is incurable, there are Cerebral Palsy treatments that can help the victim lead a near normal life. These treatments are mostly available in form of various types of therapies. Thanks to such therapies, many children suffering with this incurable disease are now leading near normal life.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for example has proved to be one of the most successful preventive treatments for Cerebral Palsy. Research has revealed that as a result of this therapy, the patients had improved vision, hearing, and speech and more significantly, a reduction of spasticity by 50%. In some cases drugs like benzodiazepines, baclofen and intrathecal phenol are applied to control seizures, alleviate pain or relax muscle spasms. Cases that do not respond either to drugs or to therapies are treated with surgery.
But what is a Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral Palsy is a group of non-contiguous disorders that cause physical disabilities in human development. Broadly speaking there are four categories of CP namely, Spastic, Artheoroid, Ataxic and Mixed.
