Cerebral palsy (PVL/periventricular leukomalacia) is cured!

Greetings from the Director

Note: The text is written in English by an automatic translator.

The number of children with cerebral palsy (PVL) is increasing rapidly in Japan and around the world, and no definitive solution has yet been established. However, in 2005, a medical institution in Japan, Yamato Acupuncture Clinic, succeeded in completely curing pediatric cerebral palsy (PVL).

Yamato Acupuncture Clinic is located in Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, adjacent to Tokyo, and has been curing many children with cerebral palsy (PVL) since 2005.

The term cerebral palsy is known throughout the world and is a disease characterized by intellectual and motor disabilities, but there is a big problem here. The “cause” of cerebral palsy is very important. For example, there are many different causes of cerebral palsy. The most common causes are cerebral palsy caused by epileptic seizures, cerebral hemorrhage, and neonatal paralysis. Another cause that has recently become known around the world is PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). In 2005, Yamato Acupuncture Clinic announced that cerebral palsy in children caused by PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) can be cured completely.

Pediatric Cerebral Palsy (PVL/Periventricular Leukomalacia)

Yamato Acupuncture Clinic’s treatment method is to remove intellectual and motor disabilities through acupuncture and special exercise therapy.

Starting age and “cure rate” for treatment of childhood cerebral palsy (PVL/periventricular leukomalacia)

The earlier the age of initiation of treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy/PVL, the higher the “cure rate”. The “cure rate” also depends on the severity of symptoms, from mild to moderate to severe, and the frequency of treatment. In cases where the cure rate is high, the severity of symptoms is high in the “mild to moderate” range, and the cure rate is highest when treatment is started before the age of 1 year, followed by 2 years, and then by 3 years. Depending on the severity of symptoms, “complete cure” may be possible at ages 3 to 5, and even at ages 6 and older, if the symptoms are mild or if treatment is frequent.

Complications

Complications are a major issue in the treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy (PVL), and it is important to mention that when cerebral palsy is caused by PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), it is possible to “cure” the disease, but complications often make it difficult to “cure” the disease. A complication is a case in which there are other causes of PVL. For example, a patient may be diagnosed with PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) at the hospital, but also suffer from epileptic seizures, cerebral hemorrhage, or neonatal pseudodeath. In some cases, even if there were complications, they may not have affected the patient at all, and in such cases, a “complete recovery” may be possible. For more details, please visit our clinic to find out.

Pediatric Cerebral Palsy (PVL/Periventricular Leukomalacia)

In Japan and around the world, the mainstream treatment for pediatric cerebral palsy/PVL is surgery, PT (Physical Therapy), OT (Occupational Therapy), and ST (Speech Therapy), and these medical therapies “do not fundamentally cure” the disease, especially Movement disorders worsen with age. However, Yamato Acupuncture’s treatment method is revolutionary, and is particularly noteworthy in that it not only normalizes the white matter that causes the problem, but also normalizes all intellectual and motor disabilities that occurred after birth, because it works directly on the “white matter” part of the brain through acupuncture treatment.

Since the announcement in Japan that cerebral palsy (PVL) can be completely cured, patients with childhood cerebral palsy have been coming to our clinic from all over Japan, much to our surprise. Cerebral palsy (PVL) is cured by acupuncture treatment at Yamato Acupuncture Clinic.
We hope that parents all over the world who have children with cerebral palsy (PVL) will have great hope for their children.

Our Policy on Cerebral Palsy and PVL Treatment

Note: The text is written in English by an automatic translator.

We have treated many children with cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) over the years because of the great recovery potential. Some children have mild symptoms such as heel lift but are able to walk unaided, while others have severe symptoms such as not being able to turn over from infancy or not being able to crawl even at the age of 1 year old. However, as shown in the “Latest Treatment Videos” and “PVL (Cerebral Palsy) Treatment and Growth Record,” it is often possible for children with mild symptoms to be able to walk nicely on their heels, and for children with severe symptoms to be able to crawl, walk, and run normally. It has also become possible for children with severe illnesses to crawl, walk, and run normally.

However, in the mild group, it may be difficult for the child to walk on his/her heels, and in the moderate to severe group, it may be difficult for the child to crawl neatly, walk normally, or run normally. In such cases, the goal of treatment for the mild group is to make it easier to get on one’s heels, while the goal for the moderate to severe group is to enable the patient to live independently.

Recovery from PVL is an issue that varies greatly from person to person, and the degree of tension and paralysis varies from person to person. The goal of recovery and the way in which treatment is effective will be decided after consultation with your doctor after your visit to our clinic.

Big recovery is possible for both children with mild disease and those with moderate to severe disease. As the saying goes, “early detection and early treatment” is the key to all diseases, and how early we can start treatment is the major key, so we urge you to consider treatment.


Future PVL Treatment

Many questions about cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) are received from all over the country each year. We receive many questions such as, “Will the tension really be removed? Many of our patients are referred to us by their current patients, and some of their parents are hesitant to have them undergo treatment. We have also heard that some parents are hesitant to have their children treated because of concerns such as, “What if it is very serious?

But we hope that you will have the courage to take the first step. Cerebral palsy, especially PVL, is the only pediatric palsy for which recovery is expected to go as far as possible. The reason why conventional acupuncture and moxibustion only uses vague expressions such as “improvement” or “getting better” is because there has been no history of “clear recovery,” “he can now walk on his heels,” or “he could not crawl after the age of one, but he can now crawl, stand on his heels, and walk. This is because

In the “PVL (cerebral palsy) and the latest treatment video,” which was started in 2022, we show the state of paralysis before treatment and the extent to which the hypertonia has been removed after treatment. In the “PVL Treatment and Growth Record,” which was introduced in April 2022, we show more specifically how children recover from the treatment that started in their newborn period (infancy). We can assure you that most children will recover. Conventional acupuncture clinics have no history of disclosing “treatment results” that show how far the child has really recovered after one year of treatment or two years of treatment. In order to give you “great hope” and to accumulate a history that can meet your expectations, we will continue to expand our “PVL (cerebral palsy), the latest treatment videos” and “PVL (cerebral palsy) treatment and growth record” to provide an “indicator of whether to receive treatment” in the future, and to help as many PVL children as possible lead normal lives. We hope to expand the “Latest Treatment Videos” and “PVL (cerebral palsy) Treatment and Growth Record” to help as many children with PVL as possible lead normal lives, and we would like to share these videos nationwide.

December 2022 Director, Yamato Acupuncture Clinic Tooru Yokouchi


Treatment for children who “heel float” and can walk on their own.

Among the many inquiries we receive regarding cerebral palsy and PVL, the majority of questions from parents are comments such as “How far will I recover? It depends largely on the condition of the symptoms (mild to severe). First of all, for children with mild to moderate symptoms, there are a great many cases in which they are able to walk on their heels, so we hope you have high expectations for them. Next, we receive many comments such as, “When should I start treatment? We would like to mention here the guidelines for starting treatment and the fact that children with mild to moderate disease should aim to be able to walk normally “wearing heels”.

We will explain this while referring to our “PVL (cerebral palsy) latest treatment video”. These are children who are in the mild to moderate level and started treatment before the age of 1 year old: report 6 (10 months old), report 8 (11 months old), and report 10 (8 months old). All three sets of children are grade 5 equivalent and moderate infants. What they have in common is that they are unable to “crawl,” and even though they are able to turn their heads and roll over, they still manage to “zuribai,” which is reflected in their appearance. However, when we look at the “treatment results” after 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and so on, we see that the child is able to crawl beautifully, then stand on his/her hands and knees, then walk with his/her hands free, and finally walk with his/her hands free. It is important to note that all of the children are already “on their heels,” and if treatment is started before the age of 1 year, most of the children with mild to moderate symptoms will follow this process of recovery.

Next, let’s look at the cases where “early treatment” was not successful. Next, let’s look at the children in the mild group: report 11 (3 years old), report 12 (8 years old), report 14 (6 years and 6 months old), 15 (5 years old), and 16 (6 years and 2 months old). (*As children in the 1’s to around 3 years of age may undergo a variety of changes, so plans are made on an individual basis.) After the approximate age of 5 years, the quality of the tension increases and “3-week special treatment” is often started from the beginning, and depending on the characteristics of the child’s symptoms and the intensity of the tension, we will remove a great deal of tension in about 12 months of treatment. After 12 months, the frequency of treatment will become less frequent, and the child will be able to walk “on his/her heels” and jump, etc., even with fast legs. This is the so-called “final stage” of treatment. The child in Report 12 was photographed when she completed the “before treatment” to “final stage”. The children in Reports 14, 15, and 16 are about to enter the “final stage” of treatment.

Now, what about the severely ill children? In severe cases, there are many recovery changes, but we start with one goal at a time: 1. turning over, 2. crawling, 3. crawling, 4. holding on, 5. telling and walking, 6. walking with hands free, and so on. Usually, when symptoms are severe, it is often difficult for the child to walk neatly “on his/her heels. However, this depends greatly on the nature of the symptoms, and recovery may be more significant than expected. Since it is difficult to foresee specific recovery changes from the initial consultation, we will set goals that are within reach one by one while watching recovery changes, and then move on to higher goals one by one.

As much as possible, we try to achieve the highest possible goals.

We would like to show “before” and “after” as much as possible. Cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) are the only children who undergo significant recovery changes in a wide variety of cerebral palsy. We are looking forward to seeing how far they will recover after one or two years of treatment. We will continue to strive to meet the expectations of parents. *If you have any questions about anything other than the above, please do not hesitate to contact our clinic.

*At present, several children whose treatment was interrupted due to the “coronary disaster,” inability to travel outside of the prefecture, complications discovered, and other reasons, have had their treatment put on hold. We will be releasing “after” videos, focusing on those children who are currently in the hospital. Please understand this in advance. In addition, the children in Reports 8 and 10 are expected to be finished soon. We are planning to release additional videos, so please wait for a while.

* We can only accept a few groups per year for the 3-week special treatment, so please contact us as soon as possible if you would like to apply. Also, a stroller (or wheelchair) is required for the 3-week special treatment. Please prepare in advance. Details regarding the use of strollers will be explained during the initial consultation.

As much as possible, we try to achieve the highest possible goals.

What is cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)?

Cerebral palsy, periventricular leukomalacia

In the past, many people may have seen only academic explanations and jargon about cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). What exactly happens in the brain to cause the various symptoms of cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia (hereafter referred to as “cerebral palsy” or “PVL”)? Here, I would like to explain in as simple a manner as possible. Cerebral palsy/PVL is a disease that occurs in the second trimester of pregnancy (24-36 weeks). In other words, the period from 24 to 36 weeks of pregnancy is an important time for the growth of the white matter. But why does the “white matter” soften and become damaged? It is because the blood flow to the brain is impaired during this period. In many cases, the amount of blood that is carried to the brain is reduced due to the compression of blood vessels in the placenta and umbilical cord while the fetus is still in the belly, resulting in insufficient nutrition and oxygen to the white matter, which causes the damage (softening). Still, the fetus moves well, and the pressure on the placenta, umbilical cord, etc., does not last forever. No other parts of the cranial nerves are affected, and the heartbeat is normal. It may be even more difficult to detect because the fetus is growing inside the body in much the same way as an unaffected fetus. (*There are a few other reasons why the periventricular white matter may be damaged.

Although PVL is often diagnosed in the hospital before or after birth, it is often overlooked. What about cerebral palsy/non-PVL causes of cerebral palsy? Usually, when cerebral palsy appears, abnormal findings always appear in utero or shortly after birth. In the case of EEG abnormalities (epilepsy), seizures may occur, cerebral hemorrhage may cause sudden changes in respiration and blood pressure, ischemic encephalopathy may cause cardiopulmonary arrest, and other abnormal findings are always present. However, in the case of cerebral palsy/PVL, the disorder appears gradually some time after delivery, so the lesions may not be noticeable in utero or immediately after delivery and may be overlooked. The hospital did not say anything about it at the time of delivery. If there was no mention of it, but you are concerned about “stiffness in the heels” during the developmental process, or if the child is very slow in “turning his head,” or if the child does not turn over after a certain period of time, cerebral palsy/PVL is suspected.


Where you are impaired

Because motor and optic tracts run in the periventricular white matter, many cases will cause hypertonia in the hands, feet, and trunk, as well as visual disturbances. In mild cases, symptoms such as inward rotation of the toes and heel elevation may occur. In severe cases, in addition to these symptoms, stiffness of the hip joints may cause the legs to cross, the appearance of spastic biparesis (both legs sticking out), the thumbs of the hands to turn inward, and the hands and arms to rotate inward. Movement disorders such as the arms being rolled inward into the trunk and not outward can occur.

Vision impairment can cause problems with the “sense of seeing and understanding” and “spatial perception (the ability to understand the shape and size of objects). It can also cause vision loss and strabismus.


Where cerebral palsy/periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) differs from other forms of cerebral palsy

The main point in the disorder known as “cerebral palsy” is what causes it. Not only can the cause be “intracranial hemorrhage (episiotomy)” or “acute encephalopathy,” “West syndrome (epilepsy),” or “neonatal paresis (respiratory arrest for more than a few minutes),” but also vascular, respiratory, or digestive diseases can cause cerebral palsy. When cerebral palsy occurs due to these causes, significant motor disabilities appear. In most cases, intellectual abilities are also severely damaged. The level of motor impairment, such as “inability to move in bed,” is common in cerebral palsy caused by these conditions.

Cerebral Palsy/PV

What about in cerebral palsy/PVL? In general, although some cases are severe, others have only mild symptoms such as “being able to walk unaided,” or the heels touch the ground when standing, but when walking, only the heels lift off the ground, or the patient is able to move by zoribai. However, most cases of cerebral palsy other than PVL do not allow the patient to “stand,” “walk,” or “move around on his/her own,” and many of these cases present with severe symptoms. In the area of intellectual ability, most patients with cerebral palsy other than PVL are severely mentally retarded. However, PVL is characterized by the fact that “intellectual ability is almost unaffected” (*at a very severe level, intellectual ability is not affected). (*Intellectual disability does occur at very severe levels.

PVL is truly a “remarkable cerebral palsy. This may be one of the reasons why cerebral palsy and PVL continue to make remarkable recoveries.


Current status of cerebral palsy

Currently, the medical community is unable to do anything about most cases of cerebral palsy, including PVL, and even with PT, OT, and rehabilitation in hospitals, the progression of symptoms rarely stops. As the hospital points out, “It may get worse, but it will never get better,” and even the acupuncture and moxibustion industry to date has not been able to stop the deterioration or “recover” the patient. Tension in the hands, feet, trunk, hip joints, and other parts of the body will continue to increase little by little. However, you do not have to give up. Our clinic has had very good results not only with PVL, but also with various pediatric cerebral palsy, complications, and other diseases. *Till now, there is no history of acupuncture in which accurate “before” to “after” records, photos, or videos have been published to show the power of acupuncture.


 

Implementation of function acquisition training

Functional training at our clinic is conducted immediately after “the overstrain in the body disappears after treatment,” so that turning over, slipping and sliding, crawling, sitting up, and standing on one’s hands appear at a relatively early stage (*especially when treatment is started at age 0). The doctor in charge at our clinic will work with the parents so that the parents can learn at the same time and can also do it at home.


 

 

Movement Disorders in Cerebral Palsy

Postnatal movement disorder (PVL)

It is important to mention movement disorders (overstiffness) after birth. You will often not notice any noticeable stiffness until about the first or second month after birth. In cases where the tension is very strong, this is when the stiffness begins to be noticeable, around the third or fourth month. Various types of overstiffness will then gradually appear on a monthly basis. The time of appearance and the type of tension will vary depending on the mildness to severity of the symptoms, but please refer to the standard values below for general guidelines.


 

*Guideline for correct development (standard)

3-4 months Grab what you touch, neck
5-7 months Turning over, sitting up
8-10 months  Crawling, standing on hands and knees
10-12 months Beginning of telling and walking alone

Guideline for appearance of movement disorder (PVL)

3-4 months

When the hand is in a gooey position, only the thumb is in the middle
Often when moving the foot, the foot is in a pointed position (foot is stretched out with a pincer)
Stiffness is noticeable when lying on the back with knees bent and trying to open both legs.
being slow to take hold one’s head up
Unable to grasp what is touched (hands remain gooey and open)

5-7 months

Tension of 3-4 months gradually gets stronger.
Not just the toes, but the entire foot is left stretched out on pins and needles.
Internal rotation (turning inward) when trying to move the hand
Toes turn inward (toes turn inward)
Inability to turn over or sit up

8-10 months 

The above tensions become progressively stronger.
Crossing with legs pinned and extended.
Stiffness of the whole body begins to be noticeable
Zuribai (*does not appear in healthy children)
Unable to crawl or stand up

10-12 months

Increased tension in all parts of the body
turn over one’s back

We have listed the types and details of movement disorders from mild to severe. Some children may also have other movement disorders not listed above, such as movements themselves that are weak and characterized by relaxation (lack of strength) rather than tension, or left-right differences in the process of white matter formation, where one side may be noticeably stiffer or conversely weaker than the other side.

If it is known from the beginning when the movement disorder (tension) will appear and what type of tension will appear, it can be treated early and the tension will gradually disappear. We recommend that you see your child’s doctor as soon as possible, as the severity of tension and its manifestations can vary considerably from child to child.

 

 

Cerebral Palsy and PVL/Symptomatic Diagnosis

We would like to inform you about cerebral palsy and PVL/symptom diagnosis. Due to the large number of inquiries about PVL, and the fact that it is often difficult for parents to fully explain their child’s symptoms in writing, since October 2021, we have been asking parents to send us a “video of their child” for direct diagnosis by our clinic director (recorded video time: approx. 30 seconds to 1 to 2 minutes), (The length of the recorded video: approximately 30 seconds to 1 or 2 minutes).

This “video diagnosis” is limited to those who have requested or are considering a visit to our clinic, and is a one-time diagnosis only. We will explain the results of the diagnosis, what to expect in the future (prognosis), and the effectiveness of our treatment. If possible, we may also diagnose “Grade 1-6” or “Grade 7 or higher”. (*In the case of children less than 6 months after birth, we may not be able to make a grade notation because the tension is often not fully developed).

In the child’s medical information, 1. “birth weight,” 2. “days of birth,” and 3. “complications” are required. In addition, please be sure to state “~months after birth” as “modified ~months” is not helpful.

How to apply

Please fill out the necessary information from the “Contact Us” page and indicate that you would like to receive a video diagnosis. Please also provide us with the following information: 1. birth weight, 2. number of days since birth, and 3. any complications. We will reply with the address for attaching the video. (If you cannot attach the video because the information is too large, please reduce the number of bytes and send it to us, even if the image is a little rough. We will send you a diagnosis from the director later.

 

 

Cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL)

Background of the difficulty of fundamental recovery of cerebral palsy/PVL due to the nature of Western medicine

It is clear that until recently, Japanese medicine has been at the world’s top level in dealing with pediatric diseases, including first aid, surgery, and thorough medical and hygienic management after birth. In particular, the enthusiasm and dedication of pediatricians and NICU doctors to the care of children are well known. Western medicine to date has been characterized by its strengths in the areas of 1) surgery, 2) medication, and 3) adjunctive therapies such as PT, OT, and ST. Therefore, they are not good at “eliminating muscle hypertonia” without working directly on the causative lesion “white matter itself” or utilizing “the effects of drugs (only temporarily) / Botox, etc.”. The history of PT, OT, and ST is that they originated in the U.S. and Europe, and the Japanese medical community has adopted therapies that conform to those of Western countries. The Japanese medical community has a history of adopting therapies that conform to Western standards. Because of this, Western medicine has not yet established a treatment method that directly affects the white matter itself, the cause of cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), or that acts on the white matter to “recover intellectual disability” or “eliminate hypertonia”.

Treatment of Cerebral Palsy and PVL (Periventricular Leukomalacia), Revolution of Medical Theory and Acupuncture Techniques Toward Normalization

In Eastern and Western medicine, children with intellectual disabilities and motor disabilities are generally referred to as “cerebral palsy,” “pervasive developmental disorder,” or “mental retardation,” and these three terms are used especially in hospitals. The “causes” of cerebral palsy are numerous, including epileptic seizures, suspended animation at birth, encephalitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, severe jaundice, inborn errors of metabolism, genetic disorders, hydrocephalus, synovial encephalopathy, encephalocele, Rett syndrome, congenital cerebral white matter dysplasia, and others. There are a vast number of causes. One of these is cerebral palsy and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). Because all of the above-mentioned causes are intractable and have many common symptoms such as “intellectual disability” and “motor disability,” the Western medical community still refers to “cerebral palsy” as a broad term rather than the name of the disease that causes it.

With this medical background, why is it possible to treat children with PVL and why do they show remarkable recovery from intellectual and motor disabilities after birth? The rationale for this is that the white matter alone is the decisive focus of cerebral palsy, while other parts of the brain are involved or damaged. In the treatment of cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), “medical technology,” a treatment method that significantly restores intellectual disability and motor disability, has finally been perfected at our clinic, and for the first time in Japanese history, “cerebral palsy and PVL can be significantly restored (mild to moderate/severe cases aim for independent living)” has been realized. In May 2006, we announced that “Cerebral Palsy/PVL can be remarkably recovered (mild to moderate/severe is for independent living)”).

Cerebral Palsy/PVL/Periventricular Leukomalacia

To all parents worldwide who have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia

About Cerebral Palsy/PVL/Periventricular Leukomalacia

We receive many questions from parents of children with cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia. The reason is that the doctor told them, “Your child has cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia and will probably have paralysis in the future. I don’t understand well when they say cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia”. We receive many comments such as, “I want some definitive clues or explanations as to why it will heal.

For anxious parents, I would like to share with you a major indicator of which “acupuncture clinic” to choose if you are considering “acupuncture”. First, you should know about the “general effects” of acupuncture. Acupuncture itself is an effective treatment for cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia. Now, I will list the “range” and “type” of its effectiveness. When acupuncture treatment is started, many other changes appear, such as “hand movement improved,” “able to turn over,” “more speech,” “hip joint softened,” “heel much softer,” “crawling faster,” and so on. However, the effects of general acupuncture treatment are mostly limited to this level. Our goal is to achieve the “full recovery level,” which means that the child should be able to (1) “stand up nicely by himself/herself without assistance,” (2) “walk nicely by himself/herself with heels on without assistance,” and (3) “run, jump, and ride a bicycle by himself/herself with heels on. Although it depends on the grade of the child, most children are treated with these three goals in mind.

Please refer to the following two points as decisive in determining the competence of an “acupuncture clinic” with regard to cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia).

1. Please check the “standing photographs” of the patient standing neatly on our “Cerebral Palsy/PVL/Periventricular Leukomalacia” page. These “standing photos” are clear proof. In order to achieve a beautiful standing posture, paralysis of both upper limbs, back, hip, ankle joints, and other major parts of the body must be completely removed (in some very mild cases, even with hospital “PT” and “OT”, etc., the patient can be cured / within about 1 grade on the Yamato scale). The two most important things here are the exact “birth date” and “birth weight” (the same applies in the hospital). The above two points are essential in order to diagnose the severity of the condition and symptoms of the individual at birth. Therefore, not only light weight (grams), but also moderate weight (around 2,000g) and slightly severe symptoms (around 1,500g), as well as mild weight (around 2,000g), moderate weight (around 2,000g) and severe weight (around 1,500g), which can be cured at a hospital if the child is a “PVL specialist,” must be clearly indicated with a photograph The above two points must also be clearly stated along with a photograph as proof of “ability to cure”. Please take it as an indicator that many clear grounds and proofs are required.

2.When specializing in “cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia,” it is very important to be able to explain to patients in an easy-to-understand manner “why it can be cured. Please use this as a guideline to determine why a specialist focuses only on “cerebral palsy/PVL/periventricular leukomalacia” when there are so many different causes of cerebral palsy (acute encephalopathy, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, temporary death at birth, etc.). We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the parents who provided us with the photos.

I hope the above explanation will be helpful to parents of children with cerebral palsy and PVL/periventricular leukomalacia。

H.A./S.A./K.A. (5 years old, triplets)

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / hydrocephalus / cerebral palsy / PVL

H.A. had epileptic seizures, hydrocephalus, and cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia); S.A., the second son, had PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) only; and K.A., the third son, had two diseases: total blindness due to retinal detachment and cerebral palsy/PVL. Only the second son, S.A., was able to walk steadily and successfully and graduated from our clinic.

K.I., 6 years old

Treatment:
autistic

K.I. comes to our clinic with autism, without cerebral palsy. At home, his mother was worried that he often “shouts too loud” and that she might mistake him for a child abuser. As we continued to treat him with acupuncture, he gradually became “calm” and his mother was a little relieved.

Y.U. (11 months old)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Immediately after birth, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). Y.U. came to our hospital at the age of 11 months and was unable to turn over. Six months later, Y.U. was able to turn over on both sides, and one month after that, he was finally able to crawl, though it was almost like a “slipping and falling” situation, to the delight of both parents.

 

H.E. (1 year and 5 months old, twins)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

At the time of his first visit, he had managed to begin to slither around and could finally say the words “Papa,” “Mama,” and “Mamma. Six months after her first visit, she was able to stand on her hands, and a year and a half later, she was able to walk with her heels on. The mother happily reported back to us.

M.K. (3 years and 9 months old, twins)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia))

At the hospital, she was diagnosed with cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). 2.5 years old, she was able to walk, but her left heel would float. The gait itself was unstable with a wobbly gait, but after one month of treatment, the gait became stable and the parents were relieved.

S.H. (1 year and 1 month old)

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Cerebral palsy / PVL (periventricular leukomalacia))

Resuscitated from suspended animation at birth. He is taking Depakene, Excegran, etc. He is not yet able to turn over in bed or hold his head up, but he moves both arms well. After 2 months of treatment, he started to express various emotions, and after 4 months, he started to speak and babble more, such as “munchy-munchy,” showing great growth.

 

H.U. (6 years and 5 months old)

Treatment:
Cerebral Palsy / PVL (Periventricular Leukomalacia) / High Functioning Autism

He came to the hospital with little or no motor impairment due to cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). He often parrots and panics. He is restless in class, but manages to sit quietly. After two months of treatment, his usual parroting becomes less frequent and he begins to give correct answers. One month later, he is also becoming more restless and his mother is relieved to see him

A.F. (1 year and 5 months old)

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Cerebral palsy / PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

 Taking Depakene. I have about 2 “jerks” a day. Both hands and feet are noticeably stiff. In particular, he does not want to move his left hand. After several months of treatment, he started to use his left hand a little more and seemed to be making progress in understandin

Y.N. (6 months old)

Treatment:
Petechial epilepsy / Cerebral palsy / PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

 Excegran dose. born over 36 weeks, but currently not yet necked or turned over, and will be seen long term. We are aiming for no significant tension and intellectual development.

Y.S. (1 year and 9 months old)

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Autism / Cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Taking Depakene syrup. Hemangioma. She is fed by tube feeding. He is still unable to hold his head up, speak, or turn over in bed. He can only laugh. The goal is to relieve general tension and restore intellectual ability and comprehension.

D.O. (5 years and 10 months old)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) / Cerebellar ataxia

Not yet able to walk on his own, but can walk tellingly. He is able to understand language, but is unable to articulate or speak well. Since cerebellar ataxia is superimposed on cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) in children, the treatment plan should focus on intellectual ability rather than aiming for self-paced walking.

M.I. (2 years and 6 months old)

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Has hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (severe) due to a childbirth accident. Hearing loss in the left ear. The whole body is very tense and each joint is in a state of strong flexion. One month after the start of treatment, when she fastened the belt on the child seat, she usually had difficulty fastening the belt because her thighs were flexed up, but the flexion of her thighs relaxed and she was able to fasten the belt easily. Slowly, but stretch many functions and abilities.

Y.R. (1 year and 10 months old)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Bilateral intraventricular hemorrhages, nystagmus. Turns over and slips in and out of sleep. Tension in the left hemisphere is stronger than in the right hemisphere. If nystagmus is present, the prognosis is difficult. Take your time. The main goal is to improve the patient’s intellectual abilities and to prevent further progression of tension.

K.S. (5 years and 6 months old)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

No EEG abnormalities, no nystagmus. No abnormal findings. Diagnosed as pediatric cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) by the hospital. He can turn over in bed, but cannot sit up. When moving, he slips and slides. At that time, “3-week special treatment” did not exist, and leapfrog treatment methods had not yet been established, making adequate recovery difficult if treatment was started at age 3 or older. It is believed that if treatment had been started from infancy, it would have been in time. At that time, treatment was completed at a level that largely removed tension.

K.F. (2 years and 0 month old, twins)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

A child with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome and a birth weight of 1,000 g. She was born with a very low birth weight. The child’s recovery line was severe, and the treatment we provided at the time was not sufficient to treat her. However, the overstrains in the hand and foot joints were removed to a great extent, and the child showed a significant recovery.

M.I. (2 years and 10 months old)

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia))

At the age of 1 year and 3 months, she started to walk, but her walking was unstable and both heels floated. Three months after the start of treatment, he was able to walk with his heels on the ground, and six months later, he was able to walk with his heels on the ground.

H.R. (3 years and 8 months old)

Treatment:
Point-to-point conversion, neonatal paresis/cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Born at 37 weeks, 2,700g. Currently has intellectual capacity of about 10 months. He takes Depakene S. Has small seizures several times a day. He is unable to speak. Motor function is generally tense. Both hands are always “gooing”. He can turn in his sleep OK, but cannot move around, such as zlibbing. Much recovery is difficult, but we aim to prevent the progression of tension and to develop intellectual abilities.

U.H. (1 year and 8 months old)

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He took Tegretol, but said he started having seizures after he started taking the medication. He is unable to sit up and is bedridden. She is concerned about her large swivel. When he eats, he has trouble swallowing and spills his food. The goal should be to gradually remove the tension and increase his intellectual capacity.

N.K., 1 year and 6 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

The hospital told me that I have pediatric cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). He has abnormal EEG and has had febrile convulsions. He was born very small (670g) and his symptoms appear severely. It will take time, but much recovery is expected.

K.Y., age 6 

Treatment:
Autism / Cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

When encountering a new environment, he sometimes becomes restless or panics. Appears to have little understanding of language; a few words were introduced after age 1, but now he only says “yes”. Create a calm environment and focus mainly on treatment for autism. He has few motor difficulties.

K.K., 3 years and 1 month old 

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Has difficulty swallowing and eating well. She is taking anti-epileptic drugs. He is almost ready to turn his head. He is still unable to turn over in bed. Both feet are pointed and overall stiffness is more concentrated on the right side than the left. In the eleventh month of treatment, he begins to babble; in the thirteenth month, his daily seizures are almost nonexistent; his symptoms are severe, probably due to his birth weight of 780 g. We proceed with treatment where possible, such as tension reduction.

S.W., 5 years and 8 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He can walk by himself at 1 year and 8 months. She has been holding her right mother’s hand since she was about 6 months old and does not want to open it. She has adduction of her left foot and left heel floating. Treatment is focused on movement disorder.

U.T., 1 year and 0 month old

Treatment:
Hemangioma /Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He can turn over both ways. He is not yet able to crawl. Five months after beginning treatment, he is able to zuribai and is babbling more. After another 4 months, he is able to crawl beautifully.

S.G., 3 months old

Treatment:
West syndrome /Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Currently, milk 7-8 times a day, 140 cc. He has large stools 2-3 times a day. He is scheduled for EEG and brainstem examination at “Children’s Hospital” soon, and we should explain not only about PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) but also West syndrome, etc., and proceed with treatment to prevent major seizures from occurring. We also told him that since it is expected that his muscle strength will not get stronger, we will focus on treatment to improve his muscle strength from the early stage of the disease.

C.R., 3 years and 0 month old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Able to walk alone, although needs assistance. His right foot is unstable and his heel comes up. He started to speak suddenly last year, although it was very late. Explain our treatment plan. *Come to our clinic for an initial consultation only.

S.N., 4 years and 9 months old 

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures /Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Abnormal EEG in occipital lobe, taking Tegretol. She has “eye rolling” when she wakes up from sleep, and could not turn over until she was 1.5 years old. He is currently able to speak one-word sentences such as “daddy” and “mommy”. This is an example of less motor impairment than expected. Independent walking may be possible.

R.E., 2 years and 9 months old 

Treatment:
Fukuyama muscular dystrophy

In the fifth month of life, a chromosome 9 abnormality is identified. There is no diagnosis of childhood cerebral palsy. Speech is only “mama” and begins to babble-like. He was constipated and had been taking “enemas” but has now stopped and switched to medication. He is only able to move both upper and lower extremities slightly. We explain our treatment policy and proceed with treatment to slow the progression and restore as much function as possible.

He will soon attend a rehabilitation center. (He came to the clinic only for the first visit)

Y.S., 3 years and 9 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Can hold on, can walk 2 to 3 meters. Cannot sit up. From around 6 months of age, her feet become noticeably limp. After receiving Botox injections a few times, she is now unable to walk because of her toes.

U.E., 7 years and 1 month old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Diagnosed with childhood cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) shortly after birth. Told “you will have movement disorders.” Received several “Botox injections.” Mild motor impairment in both hands. Tension in both legs is strong (right > left). Explain the details of our treatment. After one month of treatment, the tension began to relax and he started practicing “stand – squat” exercises.

H.T., 5 years and 8 months old, twins

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

In the past year, his right ankle has suddenly become stiff. He also has paralysis in both hands and always uses only his left hand because of the strong paralysis in his right hand. After one month of treatment, the stiffness in his right hand began to go away and he began to use his right hand, which he had rarely used before.

K.F., 2 years and 1 month old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Born at 28 weeks, 1,300g. Mentally retarded with some delay. He currently speaks “daddy,” “mommy,” and “good morning. Turns over and crawls OK, stands on knees, but cannot sit up.

A.K. 4 years and 3 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

At the age of 1.5 years, she has febrile convulsions. He is slightly retarded in intellectual ability. He tries to understand in terms of spatial cognition and comprehension, but is concerned about his inability to take action. Explain that intellectual ability can be improved and overstimulation can be reduced.

E.A., 4 months

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Born at 29 weeks, 964g. No EEG abnormalities. About 10 days after birth, MRI diagnoses pediatric cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). Currently, bilateral elbow stiffness and hip tension are noticeable. Since the child is only 4 months old, we proceed with treatment while slowly monitoring the child’s condition.

H.I., 1 year and 0 month old

Treatment:
Petechial epilepsy / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Taking Depakene. Eyes do not meet (vision problems). Not yet able to turn over in bed, no turning over. After 1 month of treatment, he reports that he is able to turn over. After 3 months of treatment, his facial expressions are much more expressive and responsive.

H.K., 1 year and 10 months old

Treatment:
Neonatal paresis/cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

The hospital tells me that I have pediatric cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia). After birth, there is a right frontal lobe and intracranial hemorrhage. He can turn over in bed, the one facing to the left. Able to zlib with left hand and leg body. There is no noticeable stiffness, but when strained, he has inward rolling of the toes and recently crossed feet is also a concern. Words are one-word sentences such as “mama,” “baba,” and “gah-gah. He communicates by pointing at things that interest him. After 1 month of treatment, babbling increases tremendously; after 2 months, he is able to step and sit by himself.

M.U., 2 years and 3 months old

Treatment:
Neonatal pseudodeath /Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and neonatal paresis are severe levels. Spastic quadriplegia. The patient can swallow, but tongue movement is not good. Both upper and lower extremities are noticeably stiff. The patient’s future plans include avoiding further intensification of tension and focusing on restoring as much intellectual capacity as possible.

M.E. 2 years and 0 month old

Treatment:
Neonatal pseudodeath / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Born neonatally in suspended animation (about 6 minutes), with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Antiepileptic drugs, Phenobar taken, EEG abnormal. Damage to right brain, left hand and left leg are very tense. Recently, he started babbling “poo-poo” and “per-per”. After 2 months of treatment, EEG is stable and antiepileptic drugs are stopped.

R.D, 2 years and 4 months old

Treatment:
Rett syndrome/Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

EEG abnormalities. Rett syndrome developed at about 1 year of age. Language loss, ataxic gait, and autistic tendencies appeared. After 2 months of treatment, his facial expression started to change. After 5 months of treatment, he was able to walk 2 to 3 steps independently. He can stand on his feet for about 30 minutes.

H.T., 4 months

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Mother if back is stretched and hard to bend. Both sides of the white matter are under-formed. At the hospital, it is noted that her legs are very tense and that her left leg is inwardly contorted. After 4 months of treatment, she reports that she is able to zlib with both elbows and that she travels everywhere when left alone, probably because of her increased interest and attention.

A.I., 6 years and 4 months old

Treatment:
Petechial epilepsy /Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

EEG is stabilizing a little. He is taking Rivotril and Depakene syrup. Tension is seen in various areas, including ankle joints and internal rotation of arms. Explanation about epilepsy and how abnormal brain waves can hinder growth. We then talk about the goal of increasing intellectual capacity as much as possible and that the tension should not be any stronger.

Y.H., 1 year and 11 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Mother says she feels her legs are not opening properly around 3 months. Currently, she can crawl, but her right arm is easily rolled in. Her right hand is paralyzed, and she has stiffness in her back to lumbar region, especially in her hip joints. Ankle joints are good on both sides. He is able to speak a variety of words such as “bye-bye,” “shite,” “I’ve gone,” “wan-wan,” and “mono ochita,” etc. I will explain the details of future treatment.

Y.E., 12 years and 6 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Diagnosed with childhood cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia); received Botox injections 3-4 times a year 3 years ago. Left foot > right heel floats; has worn orthotics since around age 4. As he grew up, he started to stand on his toes more and more. Because of the sudden increase in height and weight, the symptoms in both lower limbs became more severe and accompanied by lower back pain. After several treatments, remarkable flexibility was seen in her ankle and hip joints, and her mother seemed surprised at the magnitude of the change. When she entered the treatment room, her steps were light and her back was straight. The mother was pleased to see that when she went to pick up her child after school, her back was straighter and her steps were lighter.

Y.U., 1 year and 10 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Born at 28 weeks, 1,182g. No EEG abnormalities. Neck goes backward and generalized tension is strong (with pathological deep reflexes/generalized recumbency). Very heavy tension is present. Inform the patient of our treatment and explain that treatment to remove tension is a priority.

  S.N., 4 years and 5 months old双子 

Treatment:
Petechial epilepsy /Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Born at 35 weeks, 2,340g. At 6 months of age, epileptic seizures occur. He took Depakene and Rivotril. Two days after birth, his condition suddenly changed and he was urgently admitted to the NICU. He was treated for cardiac failure, and one month later was diagnosed with polycystic encephalomalacia. He has very severe tension in his back, upper and lower limbs. Explanation of future treatment is given with the goal of not enhancing the tension and focusing on increasing intellectual capacity.

K.H., 4 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He currently drinks about 120 ml of milk about 7 times a day. There are no EEG abnormalities and no nystagmus. The hospital has noted a cyst in the cerebellum. Motor deficits are already present, with strong stiffness in the internal rotation of the arms (right > left), hip and ankle joints (right > left). I explained that the cerebellum is responsible for “motor function” and told him that there are two overlapping motor impairments, one caused by PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) and the other originating from the cerebellum, and that he will continue to have severe motor symptoms.

R.M. and M.M., twins, 5 years and 4 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

R.M. is able to walk unassisted, but his left heel does not touch the ground and he has to wear a brace to walk. M.M. is unable to walk due to difficulty in sitting up and moving around. Both ankle joints are soft, but her hip joints are very stiff. After several treatments, the mother was surprised to see unprecedented softness.

K.M., 3 years and 6 months old 

Treatment:
Neonatal pseudodeath / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Currently, he is not yet able to sit up or crawl. His speech is about 2 words. His legs are stiff on the left side and his hands are more tense on the right side. The prognosis is poor due to birth weight of 1,000g and complications of neonatal pseudodeath as well as cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) in a child. After 5 months of treatment, speech is clear, hip tension is gone, and the child is able to reach his heels.

M.Y., 3 years and 9 months old 

Treatment:
Right intraventricular hemorrhage / cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Due to hemorrhage in the right ventricle, most of the limbs are paralyzed on the left side; prognosis is poor due to birth at 672 g. The baby was born with a hemorrhage in the right ventricle. At birth, he had a hole in his intestine, which was operated on immediately, and his progress is good. His speech is slurred and his intonation is not well articulated. The left upper extremity, shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints are stiff, and the left leg has little or no tension. The future treatment plan is explained.

 Y.M., 1 year and 5 months old

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Taking Depakene and Excegran. No seizures have occurred due to medication. Epilepsy is epileptic, with petechial epilepsy. Optic nerve examination with a penlight shows weak pupil constriction, which is thought to affect his intellectual ability. We explained that we will proceed with the treatment to take away the tension and at the same time to recover some intellectual ability.

 K.M., 9 years and 8 months old

Treatment:
High Functioning Autism / Language Developmental Delay

There is no diagnosis of cerebral palsy. He attends a special needs school and is not interested in learning, but likes playing and music. He was a little reluctant to undergo treatment at the first visit, but he took it quietly during the placement acupuncture. We will explain our treatment and aim to develop his adaptive skills.

K.S., 2 years and 9 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

EEG is abnormal. He is still unable to hold his head up and turn over. He has trouble swallowing food and often gulps it down. His speech is limited to “ooo” and “aa”. After one month of treatment, his sleeping posture became straight. In addition, the tension in the lower limbs was removed and the patient’s neck began to sit up. After continued treatment, the patient became more willing to speak.

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures / Autism / Language delays

It is also said to show symptoms of cerebral palsy. The only words he is able to say are “aya,” “no,” “ouch,” and “ri” for apple. After one month of treatment, he seemed to be more interested in his surroundings and began to try to understand

R.C., 1 year and 6 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Nystagmus downward to the left. Nystagmus appears not only in childhood cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), but also when there is significant damage to the brain, as in neonatal paresis. Tetraplegia, inability to sit up or crawl. Even if you hold him, he immediately lets go. Inability to speak.

A.I., 1 year and 7 months old, twins 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

EEG abnormal, no nystagmus. The left side of the body is very tense. He is not able to crawl nicely and zlibai. I explained that the treatment will focus on removing the tension.

 M.F., 1 year and 7 months old

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He is able to turn his head and roll over at around 7 months. He is currently unable to crawl, and is unable to do so. There is a significant delay in intellectual ability. After 11 months of treatment, he is able to walk with crutches. He is also able to say many words such as “sensai”.

R.K., 1 year and 10 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Severely disabled (medical accident). He is able to sit on his head, but his trunk is not firm. Zlibai is not possible. Upper limb tension is on the right and lower limb tension is on the left. Spastic reflexes throughout the body are present (bending over). During tension, the legs are strongly inward and pointed. After 2 months of treatment, babbling increases. After 4 months of treatment, for the first time, he is able to zlib with his upper limbs and trunk, and his mother is happy.

 N.S. 8 years and 7 months old

Treatment:
epileptic seizure

Childhood cerebral palsy has not been diagnosed. Onset at 2 weeks of age. Cannot chew well at meals. He has poor hand/finger movement and cannot sit still. Intellectually, he has little comprehension. He has been seizure free for the past 5-6 years with medication. Explain that treatment should focus on intellectual ability.

H.E., 9 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He is able to hold his head up. He has a droopy eyelid in his right eye. He is unable to turn over in bed, and is not yet able to crawl or move around. MRI shows that he is prone to paralysis in the right hemisphere of his body due to significant damage to the white matter area of his left brain. After one month of treatment, he is able to turn over in bed. Treatment will focus on movement disorder in the future.

A.Y., 1 year and 11 months old 

Treatment:
Retinopathy of prematurity / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

She was born at 24 weeks 5 days, 596 g. She was on Mionar and Lioresal. We proceed with the EEG test. I explain the details of our clinic’s treatment and tell her that the prognosis is not good at 596g, so we will take our time to help her recover little by little.

H.O., 4 years and 7 months old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL(Periventricular leukomalacia)

He can turn over and can sit up for a little while. At birth, the baby is about 1,000 g. Tension is a slightly heavy symptom. Tension is present in the thumb fingers of the hands. Feet are crossed. We explained the future treatment.

S.D., 9 years and 0 month old 

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL(Periventricular leukomalacia)

As he grew older, he tried to stand up on his toes, even though he was not able to crawl. When I thought his leg movements were strange and consulted the doctor, he told me to consider it as his individuality, and today it is without rehabilitation. After that, he said he tried various methods on his own initiative. We told him that he was too old and that we could not determine how far he would recover.

A.S., 11 years and 6 months old 

Treatment:
Temporal epilepsy / West syndrome

No diagnosis of childhood cerebral palsy. Diagnosed with petechial epilepsy, later identified as West’s syndrome; just turned 10 years old, had a major seizure at the beginning of a cold spell that lasted 20-30 minutes. During this time, he went into “cardiopulmonary arrest” for several minutes, which worsened his symptoms. Left hip dislocation, laxity of trunk and extremities. Took Tegretol. He is sensitive to heat and may have a grand mal seizure if not adequately controlled. Treatment to promote functional and intellectual recovery little by little.

 R.N., 6 months

Treatment:
Epileptic seizures/cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

Took Phenobar and Lioresal. Two months after birth, she develops seizures. Symptoms are severe with hypertonia of the extremities and neck recoil. He is not yet able to sit on his neck and has severe hip tension. After 1 month of treatment, the child’s head begins to sit up. After 3 months of treatment, the hip joint becomes soft.

 S.T., 1 year and 4 months old

Treatment:
Congenital cerebral corpus callosum defect / Pharyngomalacia / Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

He is born with a soft body and does not have good muscle tone. He uses his hands but cannot turn over with his arms due to poor shoulder joint movement. After one month of treatment, his neck is much firmer and his trunk retention is more stable when he sits up.

M.E., 7 years and 10 months old 

Treatment:

 M.F., twins, neonatal pseudodeath.

Treatment:
Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)

The mother mentions that she is concerned about her legs and shoulder tightness. In addition to pediatric cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), neonatal paresis may be difficult to fully recover from. The question is how long the cardiopulmonary arrest due to neonatal paresis lasts. 27 weeks and 1 day, 953 g. The baby was born at 27 weeks and 1 day. There was a cerebral hemorrhage at birth. Currently practicing turning over. She is babbling, tongue movement and swallowing are OK, but does not use her left hand much. Stiffness of hip, knee, and ankle (left > right) is noticeable.

R.N., 8 years and 7 months old

Treatment:
Autism/Cerebral Palsy, PVL (Periventricular Leukomalacia)

At age 3-4, he is diagnosed with autism. The motor deficits are concentrated on the left side. We inform the parents that autism is a “complication” and that we cannot assume how far the child will recover. Even if the tension is removed from the movements of paralysis that have already been learned, training will not be possible because they will not be able to understand what we say. Once they have learned the movement, they will continue to use it for a long time, and for reasons due to autism, this will impede their recovery.

In May 2006, Daiwa Acupuncture Clinic was the first in Japan and abroad to announce that “cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) can be completely cured” (on our website). 。
The Western medical community is unanimous in its opinion that cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) can get worse but never get better. Until the announcement in May 2006, almost all Internet searches for the term “PVL” were limited to explanations of PVL, and there were no doctors, medical institutions, or acupuncture and moxibustion clinics that offered the opinion that PVL could be cured. After the announcement, the response was so great that many patients came to our clinic from all over the country, but there were also groups that criticized and criticized us. In the midst of such a situation, we have continued to achieve results year after year, and have sent out many children who have recovered to a “completely cured” level, are able to walk beautifully on their own, and have been admitted to regular elementary schools with a diagnosis of “no abnormal findings” at the time of their schooling examination. If certain conditions are met (e.g., no complications), cerebral palsy and PVL may no longer be regarded as “normal” and the time may be approaching. *After our announcement in 2006, there was a great response, but there was not a single acupuncture clinic that treated “cerebral palsy/PVL (periventricular leukomalacia)”. There is no doubt that “cerebral palsy/PVL” is a highly intractable disease, and it is not something that ordinary acupuncture and moxibustion clinics can treat. However, please be careful that the person in charge at each acupuncture and moxibustion clinic provides sufficient explanation (informed consent) about “PVL. Also, proof of “cure” is essential. If you have been diagnosed with PVL, please make sure to check if there is a “standing photograph” or a “beautiful walking video” to prove that the condition can be cured. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Age at which treatment begins

In the treatment of cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), it goes without saying that the earlier the treatment is started, the better when aiming for a “complete cure level”. The standard age for starting treatment is from 3 to 4 months after birth. If treatment is started at less than one year after birth, the goal of a “complete cure level” is very likely, followed by one to two years of age, and then up to about three years and zero months of age, there is a good chance of achieving the goal. Usually, it is more difficult to achieve the goal of “complete cure” if treatment is started after the age of 3 years and 0 month. (*If there are complications other than PVL, it will be difficult to achieve a full recovery. Please contact our clinic for more details.) Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), special treatment

In 2014 (undisclosed), a treatment method was established to remove movement disorders in a short period of time. Specifically, all the subjects (who walk with heels completely floating) will be able to walk with heels on the ground after a short period of “3 weeks” of special treatment for motor disorders in which the heels do not touch the ground. The target age group is from 3 to 6 years old. The degree of recovery also varies from person to person due to individual differences in disability, mild to severe, hereditary (familial), paralysis, etc. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Until last year (2014), our goal had been to achieve “no abnormal findings” (school entrance examination) within one to three years of the start of treatment, but with the introduction of short-term special treatment, it is now possible to achieve the goal of “no abnormal findings” in six months to one year in some cases.
The special treatment will reduce the burden on patients who come from far away.
If you have any questions or need further information, please call our receptionist.

Among cerebral palsy, PVL movement disorder (tension/stiffness) in particular often worsens rapidly from around the age of 3 years. Even with our treatment method, the speed of deterioration is faster than the speed of recovery, making it difficult to achieve a “full recovery level”. Therefore, we recommend that those who are considering treatment should start treatment as early as possible. (With the implementation of the 3-week special treatment, it has become possible to achieve a complete cure level from 3 years old onward to 6 years old.)

Definition of Cerebral Palsy

In order to understand pediatric diseases including PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), we would like you to have a basic knowledge of “cerebral palsy”.
It is a permanent and changeable motor and postural abnormality based on a non-progressive lesion of the brain occurring between conception and the neonatal period (first 4 weeks of life).
*After 4 weeks of age, the cause is clear, so the disorder is not named cerebral palsy. The disease is often given a name based on the cause.

Causes of Cerebral Palsy

○viviparous
Hypoxia due to genetic and chromosomal abnormalities, infectious diseases, radiation and other chemical factors, pregnancy toxicity, etc.
○(similar to) perinatal
Refers to the period from conception to 4 weeks of age (narrow sense 22 weeks gestation to less than 7 days of age)
Neonatal paresis, nuclear jaundice
In preterm birth, low birth weight infants have breathing problems. Cardiopulmonary arrest or various stresses during birth often result in brain damage.
Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is increasing due to an increase in low birth weight as a result of increased multiple births and medical advances
○Newborn period, postnatal
CNS infection, acute encephalopathy, head trauma, respiratory failure, cardiopulmonary arrest, seizure superimposition, and cerebrovascular disease.
○motor dysfunction
Adduction of both upper extremities, hypertonia of the fingers, back tension, warping, hip tension (buttocks sticking out, adduction of both lower extremities), crossed legs, pointed feet (unable to plantar flexion dorsiflexion, heels not landing when standing), tongue dyskinesia, strabismus, etc.
○mental retardation
Brain disorders not only manifest only in motor functions, but are often accompanied by intellectual disabilities. These range from delays in pleasure, anger, sadness, and anger, to deficits in spatial cognition and comprehension, to language delays. Other disorders include language impairment, visual and hearing impairment, etc.

Definition of “Cerebral Palsy/PVL (Periventricular Leukomalacia) Complete Level

In the case of medical science, when there is degeneration of nerve cells and somatic cells, there is precisely no 100% complete restoration of the tissue, and therefore the term “cure” should not be used. However, with special treatment, even in the case of degenerated tissue, it is possible for the “cells” of the lost tissue to establish normal function by building a neuronal network, thus dramatically restoring intellectual disability and motor disability. In our clinic, the definition of “fully recovered” level includes the four elements of “normal walking,” “running,” “jumping,” and “normal rotation of the lower limbs (especially the heel) on a bicycle, tricycle, etc.” In addition, if a child is diagnosed as having “no abnormal findings” in a pre-school examination before entering elementary school (at a medical institution, etc.) and the four elements are possible and “no abnormal findings The diagnosis of “no abnormal findings” is defined as “fully cured level. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
The dorsiflexion angle of the ankle joint should be within approximately 60 degrees of the medial angle, and the ability to dorsiflex by oneself is also a basic prerequisite.

We will also regularly update you with feedback from new patients as they become available.

Cerebral palsy, PVL (periventricular leukomalacia), the path to a full recovery level and why it is recovering

Even if the tension and stiffness are first partially removed, the patient will not be able to walk properly unless the cause of the problem is corrected. Most patients with severe motor problems are advised to use foot braces, Botox to remove tension from the foot, or surgery to remove the tendon. However, no matter how many orthotics, Botox injections, or tendonectomies they have undergone, after a while the tendon becomes stiff again, and they return to the same state of “not being able to walk properly” as before. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

This is probably because modern medicine up to now has not approached the cause, the degenerated white matter itself. Therefore, our unique theory of establishing a neural network in the brain and starting from the cause itself will enable a normal gait.

Other Diseases

We also see patients with pervasive developmental disorders, mental retardation, strabismus, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), autism, high-functioning autism, Asperger’s syndrome, Niemann-Pick syndrome, Fellow’s syndrome, hydrocephalus, epileptic seizures, West syndrome, temporal epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, genetic disorders (translocation, duplication, deletion) and others in general.

In addition, we will improve the effectiveness and symptoms of acupuncture treatment.

Because the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment and the improvement of symptoms depend on various factors such as the severity and type of the disease, the time of onset, the patient’s physical constitution, age, and physical strength, please consult with us first.

Cerebral Palsy and PVL Public Video to be disseminated nationally and internationally

In 2028, we decided to make the “Cerebral Palsy/PVL Public Video” available to the public in Japan and abroad. This is not only because we believe that it will help not only children with PVL but also patients with pediatric and adult intractable diseases, but also because we believe that it is a good opportunity to create a stir in the Japanese medical community and the acupuncture and moxibustion industry as a whole. In recent years, acupuncture and moxibustion have been facing a number of worrisome problems. The question is, “To what extent does the treatment result in recovery? Acupuncture is a medical treatment that stimulates nerves in the body. Therefore, when children with cerebral palsy are treated with acupuncture, “rudimentary improvement” and “rudimentary recovery” such as “the hand has become mobile,” “the hip joint has become soft,” and “speech has become better,” appear uniformly, and parents may be surprised. However, this level of recovery is not so surprising, as it is a common change that occurs no matter where the patient receives acupuncture treatment. The problem is what happens afterwards. One year after the start of treatment, two years later, and finally when it comes to “how far the patient has recovered,” the problem is that there is no “result” that shows the patient’s ability. If these problems are left as they are, not only will the patients themselves be inconvenienced, but the trust in “acupuncture and moxibustion” will collapse noisily. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

The first video of the children in our videos, especially those who are Grade 4 or above, is an “ongoing” live report of their progress from the time when they were not even able to crawl or stand up properly. Please note that we are starting from a state of “not knowing” what will happen in three months, six months, and one year. We receive many inquiries about PVL, and we always recommend that they try it for about 3 months. If you start treatment at around 10 months of age, when paralysis and tension begin to be noticeable, you will easily realize that you will not end up with a “rudimentary improvement” or “rudimentary recovery”. We would also like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to the parents who cooperated with us in making this video available to the public. We look forward to your continued cooperation in the future. Let’s connect the baton of information dissemination to help children with cerebral palsy and PVL. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

We will continue to expand the number of “open videos” in the future, so please stay tuned, and we will continue to carefully review each report and publish the results to see how far the patient heals after one year, two years, three years, etc. We will do our best to become an acupuncture clinic trusted by our patients.

Tooru Yokouchi, Director of Daiwa MST, Feb. 3

How to confirm whether or not the treatment is effective…One of the most common questions we receive over the years is that there are many acupuncture and moxibustion clinics that offer a variety of treatment methods such as “~Ho”, “~Therapy”, and “00 Treatment”. Since the general public is not a specialist in this field, it is understandable that they have many concerns and questions. There is the easiest and most effective way to confirm the effectiveness of acupuncture. The easiest and most effective way is to ask for a third-party expert’s opinion. Our recommendation is to ask the doctors and PTs at the hospital you are visiting. For example, if “foot pressure” is claimed to be effective for cerebral palsy, you might ask the hospital doctor, “I have heard that stimulating the soles of the feet is good to help the child recover from paralysis as much as possible. Is there any point in doing so? Both doctors and PTs will be able to tell you from a medical standpoint that it does not work. In our clinic, please watch our “latest treatment videos”, “before” and “after” videos or tell us how it looks and ask your doctors and PTs. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

How to remove paralysis at home (cerebral palsy, PVL/periventricular leukomalacia)

The treatment of cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) is very important on a daily basis. There are several “home remedies” that can be used to relieve the tension caused by paralysis. Mild PVL treatment, moderate PVL treatment, and severe PVL treatment differ from each other.

There will be only one type for mild PVL treatment, two types for moderate PVL treatment, and three types for severe PVL treatment.

Even a daily 5-minute session of “Home PVL Therapy” is enough to relieve the tension and produce a therapeutic effect. If you do the “Home PVL Therapy” at home, not only will the frequency of treatment be reduced, but the symptoms will gradually lessen, with grade 6 children becoming grade 5, and grade 4 children becoming grade 3.

*Cerebral palsy and PVL (periventricular leukomalacia) treatment methods require technical guidance and explanations, which will be provided within our clinic.
