  1. Advancements in Athetoid Cerebral Palsy Treatment • TrishlaFoundation.com

  2. What is Athetoid Cerebral Palsy • Athetoid cerebral palsy is characterized by uncontrolled movements caused by damage to the brain. This condition affects muscle tone and coordination, significantly impacting daily activities.

  3. Historical Treatment Methods • Medication for Symptom Control • Physical and Occupational Therapies Aimed at improving motor functions & managing involuntary movements. These therapies focused on enhancing muscle strength, coordination, and daily functioning. Commonly used medications include muscle relaxants and anticholinergics, which help reduce spasticity & involuntary movements, providing some relief and functional improvement. 01. 02. • Surgical Interventions • In cases of severity surgical interventions were employed as a historical method. Procedures such as tendon release and orthopedic surgeries were performed to improve mobility and correct musculoskeletal abnormalities associated with the disorder. 03.

  4. Recent Advancements in Treatment Robot-Assisted Therapy Neurostimulation Techniques • Robotic devices aid in repetitive movement training to improve motor control • Techniques like TMS and DBS modulate brain activity to enhance motor functions. Genetic and Cellular Therapies Targeted Drug Delivery Systems • Research into gene editing and stem cell therapy aims to repair neurological functions. • Advanced systems deliver medications directly to targeted areas, improving efficacy.

  5. 01 02 03 • Challenges in Treatment • Long-Term Management • Variability in Symptoms Integration of New Therapies • Challenges in standardizing treatments due to symptom variability among patients. • The chronic nature requires continuous, resource-intensive long-term care. • Difficulties in adopting new therapies due to training, funding, and validation needs.

  6. Future Directions • Precision Medicine • Collaborative Care Models • Integrating multidisciplinary teams for a holistic approach to patient care. • Tailoring treatments based on genetic profiles to enhance effectiveness. • Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques • Utilizing high-resolution imaging to better understand and target brain areas involved in Athetoid CP.

  7. Evaluation and Feedback • The treatment of Athetoid Cerebral Palsy has evolved significantly, with ongoing advancements promising improved outcomes and quality of life for patients. Continued research and innovative therapies are essential to overcoming existing challenges and enhancing patient care.
