Guest guest Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Has anyone ever worked with a patient that had brain surgery thus causing cerebral palsy. The surgery was on the right side of the head starting at the temple going in front of the ear circling to full side of head just below crown, hitting all 3 speech areas. Child is 5 years old, doesn't speak, can scream, cry , etc.., no recognizable sounds as words, not toilet trained, very flexible in all limbs (lots of physiotherapy), blind in right eye, 50% in left, unstable gait, much more balanced after acupuncture.. Drools, frustrated, can recognize colours, depth perception, copy , mimic motions, hearing is excellent, head and ears very sensitive, doesn't like anyone touching him there. has anyone had anything like this?? surgery (at 4 days old) was because of clot on brain at birth, also had stroke.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 When I did my acupuncture training in our affiliated hospital of TCM U, there were plenty of celegral palsy patients being treated. They were all over in the hallway outside the treatment rooms, walking (assisted and encouraged by their families) or being held (under 3) while the needles remaining on their head. The recovery depends upon when the probelm starts. I saw case vision was retrieved after intensive acupuncture treatment (I still kept the snapshots of the treatment). I also witnessed herbal medicine retrieved the patient (aged 10 after high fever) totally. The patients had drools, bitting anything trying to touch him, disobedience, did not sleep at night, etc. It took more than a year . In your case, you have to be hurry before the vision nerves die out. Sung, Yuk-ming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
