TAIYUAN, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) — Yuncheng People's Hospital in north China's Shanxi Province, renowned for its cerebral palsy treatment, has developed and implemented rehabilitation treatment plans for nearly 1,000 overseas children over the past 10 years.
The therapy's unique feature is the combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) methods, such as the use of TCM medications, acupuncture, and massage, with modern rehabilitation treatment, said Xue Zhensuo, a rehabilitation specialist at the hospital's pediatric rehabilitation department.
According to him, hospital-based treatment for cerebral palsy is characterized by a longer course of treatment, more frequent sessions, and lower costs. He noted that unique scalp acupuncture therapy also effectively alleviates patients' mental state and improves their sleep quality.
These specific treatment methods became famous abroad in 2011, when the parents of several Russian children with cerebral palsy spontaneously created a self-help group and invited Chinese rehabilitation specialists from this hospital to Samara, Ufa, and other cities to share treatment experiences.
In subsequent years, families of children with this diagnosis from other countries, including Belarus, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and others, having learned about the unique treatment methods of this hospital, turned to them for rehabilitation and treatment.
Currently, two-year-old Alisa from the Russian city of Chita is undergoing rehabilitation at this medical facility. Under the guidance of a speech therapist, Alisa can answer questions about numbers, indicating satisfactory intellectual development, although her motor skills remain relatively weak.
Alisa's rehabilitation therapist noted that after a period of treatment, Alisa's speech and cognitive abilities had improved significantly. She can now independently express pain and walk when held by a finger.
Yulia, Alisa's mother, said she stumbled upon information about Chinese rehabilitation methods for cerebral palsy while searching on a Russian search engine and decided to come here in hopes that it would help.
Having first come to Yuncheng for treatment in August 2024, they completed a second course of treatment, which yielded excellent results. "If finances allow, I'll bring my daughter here again," says Yulia.
Since 2019, a boy named Yeraman from Atyrau, Kazakhstan, has been undergoing rehabilitation at the hospital. His mother, Nadira, expressed great joy at the progress of his treatment and said that during three trips to Yuncheng over the past few years, noticeable improvements have been observed each time.
Rehabilitation specialist Huang Danxiao noted that the boy is gradually beginning to understand verbal instructions, is weaning himself off biting his hands, and can now sit independently for 5-6 minutes. -0-
