Cerebral palsy, or cerebral palsy for short, is a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage between birth and within 1 month of birth. The disease can be caused by prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum brain infection, hemorrhage, hypoxia, poisoning, and trauma. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is caused by congenital deficiency, lack of qi and blood, emptiness of the medullary sea, weak muscles and bones, blocked meridians, and limb muscles and veins.

The main symptoms are tonic paralysis, increased muscle tone, hyperreflexia, decreased or absent superficial skin reflexes, and positive pathological reflexes. Patients with severe disease often have intellectual disability, speech impairment, loss of control of stool, salivation, soft neck, strabismus, muscle spasms of limbs, and inability to stand and walk. Apraxia amyotrophy may occur in patients with a longer course of disease.
