Detailed Answer:
Thankyou for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. cerebral palsy is a life long disability and despite medical advancement the course of action against CP has not been significant. What you are using XXXXXXX just and rent depressants and conventional treatment and does not address spasticity and other motor symptoms of CP. following management has been shown helpful.


1)Botulinum toxin with or without casting: Botulinum toxin (Botox) type A may reduce spasticity for 3-6 months and should be considered for children with cerebral palsy with spasticity.

2)Phenol intramuscular neurolysis: This agent can be used for some large muscles or when several muscles are treated, but phenol therapy is permenant.

3)Antiparkinsonian, anticonvulsant, antidopaminergic, and antidepressant agents: Although antiparkinsonian drugs (eg, anticholinergic and dopaminergic drugs) and antispasticity agents (eg, baclofen) have primarily been used in the management of dystonia, anticonvulsants, antidopaminergic drugs, and antidepressants have also been tried

Surgical treatments used in patients with cerebral palsy include the following:
4)Intrathecal baclofen pump insertion: To treat spasticity and/or dystonia

5)Selective dorsal rhizotomy: To treat velocity-dependent spasticity

6)Stereotactic basal ganglia: May improve rigidity, choreoathetosis, and tremor

7)Orthopedic surgical intervention: To treat scoliosis, joint contractures or dislocation

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
