Suggest Treatment For Mild Cerebral Palsy In A 2 Year Old
Hi, our daughter is at moment 2y. 5m. old and is diagnosed with an atypical form of a mild Cerebral Palcy (it appears to be under the symptoms of diplegia). Our main problem is her sleep disorders since 6 months old. We tried almost everything with no success (melatonin, light sedative medication, etc.). Any suggestion or practical advise? This problem causes us a lot of nerves and a non calm everyday life... Thanks a lot ! I ll appreciate any helpful answer or advice! S.P. (Bulgaria)

certain drugs like trichlofos help in sleeping problem in cerebral palsy.
sometimes pain due to spasm of muscles causes difficulty in sleep. so use of drugs which relieve the muscle spasm such as tizanidine and beclofan are helpful.
