  • Abstract:
  • Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder resulting from injury to the developing brain, leading to disturbances in movement, posture, cognition, and associated disabilities. Among its various forms, atonic cerebral palsy is characterized by hypotonia, poor muscle control, delayed developmental milestones, and impaired coordination. This case report presents the clinical management of a 2.7-year-old female child diagnosed with atonic cerebral palsy associated with microcephaly and neonatal hypoglycaemic brain insult. The patient was treated with individualized homoeopathic medicines based on totality of symptoms using Boger’s approach, along with physiotherapy and supportive care. Marked improvement was observed in sitting balance, standing ability, grasping power, bowel awareness, understanding, and overall developmental activity over prolonged follow-up. This case highlights the possible role of individualized homoeopathic treatment as an adjunctive therapeutic approach in improving quality of life and developmental outcomes in children with cerebral palsy.
