Treatment of cerebral palsy in Cuba

The program of neurological rehabilitation in the Cuban clinics is based on the property of the human brain – neuroplasticity, that is, on the ability of the brain to recover from injury or injury as a result of repeated repetition (experience) or as a response to various stimulation


The program has been developed by the International Center for Reconstructive Neuroscience “SIREN”


The program of treatment of cerebral palsy consists of two stages.
At the first stage, the patient undergoes a specialized examination, which can last up to seven days and includes physical tests, tomography studies, neuroimmune tests and other types of examinations. This is necessary in order to determine what functions a person can perform independently, which with help, and where there are special difficulties. When there are concomitant diseases, a treatment aimed at eliminating these diseases must be prescribed.


At the second stage, according to the results of all the examinations, a treatment program is prepared individually for each patient, which, in addition, can include surgical intervention. The minimum period of treatment for a patient is 28 days. The rehabilitation program in Cuba is multifactorial, intensive, designed for the work of a rehabilitators team with a patient 5 days a week for 7 hours a day (3.5 hours before and after lunch with lunch and lunch break), Saturday – only before lunch, Sunday is a day off.
