Brief Answer:
SOD needs management, CP needs long term care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Sphincter of oddi dysfunction is common in people with gastric discomforts like gastritis, GERD and XXXXXXX esophagus in your case. Also pancreas and gallbladder issues lead to such discomfort. The pain is due to the spasm of the sphincter and management is aimed at relieving the spasm with antispasmodics, antacids and avoiding triggers and meanwhile modifying diet and lifestyle like an IBS or GERD patient. If medications fail to respond then next line of action is sphincterotomy where a physician dilates this sphincter by ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography). Rememebr GERD management is also part of it as one worsens other.

Regarding CP ( Cerebral palsy) i am afraid that is a child hood damage the severity of which may vary but management is more or less the same with all the efforts to reduce the adverse effects of it. Physical therapy, speech therapy, vocational therapy, occupational therapy, Spasticity relief with anxiolytics, BZDs and even botox are needed sometimes. Orthopaedics and nerve involvement may be managed if involved.

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