When you have cerebral palsy, the main method of treatment is to find the cause and deal with it properly. Participating in rehabilitation can also help improve a person's condition.
1. What is cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is a medical condition that occurs in a specific location of the brain or is widespread, in which brain tissue is softened due to inflammation and bleeding. Degeneration or damage of the brain can soften the substance inside, thereby affecting other parts of the brain, causing damage to tissues in the frontal lobes, parietal lobes,...
Diseases can be classified according to brain part affected:
Cerebral palsy affects white matter; Cerebral palsy affects gray matter. Or classified by color and stages of damage:
Soft red brain; Soft brain white; Soft yellow brain.
2. What causes cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy is the result of blockage of blood vessels supplying the brain area, leading to cerebral infarction. It can be caused by a thrombus traveling through the bloodstream to where there are smaller blood vessels.
In case the source of obstruction is from somewhere else, it is called an embolism. If the blockage is at the site of the narrowing and forming a blood clot, it is called a thrombus. Both of these conditions are collectively known as ischemic stroke.
In addition, a number of other causes can cause cerebral palsy such as:
Severe head trauma: This condition leads to bleeding or bleeding in the brain. Part of the brain dies from a stroke: This causes nerve cells in that area to be replaced with astrocytes. After experiencing contractions, this condition can cause cerebral palsy.

3. Can cerebral palsy be cured?
The disease "can cerebral palsy be curable?" This is a question asked by many people. In fact, there is no absolute cure for cerebral palsy because the damaged brain tissue is difficult to function again. The main treatment is to find the cause of the disease to deal with it properly.
Currently, a number of large hospitals have been able to apply emergency cerebral revascularization treatment, helping to completely cure the symptoms caused by stroke. However, this treatment method is only effective for cases of early hospitalization at a suitable time.
Besides, participating in rehabilitation after stroke can help improve the patient's condition. Although one part of the brain can't be restored, the remaining parts can work compensating to improve life function. The most important issue is still the prevention of stroke recurrence by the following methods:
Maintain treatment of hypertension, diabetes; Stop smoking and alcohol; Exercise regularly every day; Do not eat animal fat, eat a lot of vegetables, take vitamin supplements. In summary, cerebral palsy is a dangerous disease related to stroke. Therefore, to protect health and prevent complications, when detecting symptoms related to stroke or cerebral infarction, patients need to go to the hospital to be examined by a neurologist.
