Abstract

The presentation of cerebral palsy can be global mental and physical dysfunction or isolated disturbances in gait, cognition, growth, or sensation. It is the most common childhood physical disability. Cerebral palsy is a static neurologic condition resulting from brain injury that occurs before cerebral development is complete. Because brain development continues during the first two years of life, cerebral palsy can result from brain injury occurring during the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal periods. The goals of treatment are to improve functionality and capabilities toward independence. The study was aimed at the improvement of cerebral palsy cases using homoeopathic medicines. This study includes 20 cases which were taken from the OPD and IPD of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital Kulasekharam. In the majority of cases, there were few symptoms. Prescription is based on objective symptoms, developmental history, and gestures of the affected children. Even miasmatic evaluation was carried out. The patients were given individualized medicine along with physiotherapy. The improvement was assessed using GMFCS SCALE. The frontline remedies were Calcarea phosphorica, Tuberculinum, Baryta carbonicum, Phosphorus, Tarentula in these cases. The homeopathic medicines gave good, encouraging results.
