Cerebral palsy treatment with conservative medications

The main goal of treating cerebral palsy is to improve the patient's condition and prevent further complications. Neurologists may prescribe medications such as antispasmodics, neuroleptics, tranquilizers, metabolic drugs, and nootropics, depending on the illness type and the symptoms. Anticonvulsants can stop intense convulsive syndrome. Medications reduce increased intracranial pressure, which may be associated with brain damage, and normalize cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Nootropics are drugs that activate the production of the enzyme adenylate cyclase and increase its content in neurons, improving the nutrition of neurons, brain cells, and cerebral tissues. One of the used in treating cerebral palsy is Hopantomide. It contains hopanthenic acid, which has both nootropic and anticonvulsant properties. The drug can improve the brain's resistance to oxygen deprivation, protect it from toxins, enhance metabolic processes in neurons, and provide mild stimulation. Combining medications with rehabilitation measures can improve cognitive functions, promote physical activity, alleviate anxiety, and regulate patient sleep patterns. Generally, drug treatment lasts several weeks up to a lifelong prescription, with breaks, depending on the results.
