Abstract

Cerebral refers to the cerebrum – a major portion of human brain, which is the affected area of the brain in this disease condition and Palsy means paralysis which refers to weakness.  Thus CP is defined as a disorder of movement and posture due to non-progressive damage to the developing brain. In our siddha classical pediatric book, the symptoms of Siravatham are nearly correlated with Cerebral palsy. The prevalence of cerebral palsy is estimated to be 1.5-3 per 1000 live births. CP Childrens reporting at Dep of Kuzhandhai maruthuvam OPD of Ayothidoss pandithar hospital, National institute of Siddha were taken as sample for this study. The total sample size was 30.  Treated with internal medicine Kurunthotti Kudineer and external Medicated powder massage (Kollu podithimirthal), Followed by Vasavu ennai massage (Thokkanam), Total treatment period was 90 days. Clinical assessment was recorded on 0th day and followed by every 30th days by using assessment Scales.  Finally, it can be concluded that internal medicine along with external therapy has a clinical efficacy on spasticity in cerebral palsy children.
