How to Treat Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of cerebral palsy among the four types of cerebral palsy, accounting for 50-75% in all CP cases. How to Treat Spastic Cerebral Palsy is the hot and difficult topic in modern medical field.
People with spastic cerebral palsy usually suffer from too much muscle tension or tightness, a condition called hypertonia (high muscle tension). Their movements are much restricted due to stiffed and jerky muscles in their legs, arms, and backs, especially when they have mood swing, such as excitement, fear or anger.
How to Treat Spastic Cerebral Paly
Conventional treatments for spastic cerebral palsy focus on relieving excess muscle tension and spasticity through drugs, surgery or Botox Injections and so on. Here we introduce 2 most common used treatments in clinic.
I. Botox Injections
More and more researches supports the use of Botox injections for easing spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. However, the FDA has not approved Botox for this purpose because of potential dangerous side effects. Patients should know that Botox injection gives only temporary relief.
II. Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is often performed when spasticity and stiffness are severe enough to make you disable to walk and move. usually, surgery involves lengthening muscles and tendons that are relatively short caused by hypertonia.
Spasticity in the upper leg muscles can causes cross-walk or a “scissor pattern” walk, which disable patients to walk normally. the best time to perform achilles tendon lengthening is 7 to 8 years old.
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is usually the last surgical option for severe spasticity. In this treatment, the doctor will selectively cut hyperactive nerves to relieve spasticity in the legs.
However, the above drugs and surgery can’t solve the problem in the root cause that central nerve system injury lead to the severe spasticity. Physical and temporary correction may cause new injury for patients.
III. The best treatment for Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Actually the best option for how to treat Spastic Cerebral Palsy is stem cell treatment for Spastic Cerebral Palsy, which turns out most effective for spastic cerebral palsy.
stem cell treatment focuses on repairing and replacing the impaired nerve cells, and rebuild the neural circuit, which will improve nerve conduction and restore the nerve system function. The severe spasticity will be relieved naturally if the nerve system works normally.
