The effectiveness of Traumeel S in the rehabilitation of children with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system. Clinical case.

Hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, HIE) in young children is one of the leading causes of permanent neurological disorders. The high frequency of adverse outcomes accounts for a significant proportion of childhood disability, most of which is associated with perinatal factors. The consequences of HIE manifest themselves in motor disorders, delayed motor and psycholinguistic development, cerebrospinal fluid dynamics disorders, hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. This determines the need for timely early rehabilitation therapy to reduce neurological deficits and prevent further disability and social maladjustment.Objective. To describe a clinical case of the use of Traumeel S in combination with physical therapy in an infant with the consequences of perinatal brain damage.Materials and methods. A clinical case of a child with the consequences of hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system, hydrocephalic syndrome, and motor disorder syndrome is presented. The rehabilitation program included a course of Traumeel S (intramuscularly) in combination with a complex of physical therapy.The effectiveness was assessed using standardized scales (GMFM-88, MAS, SATCo, GMFCS, HINE, AIMS) in dynamics throughout the year.Results. During treatment, positive dynamics of clinical and functional indicators were noted: improvement of gross motor skills, postural control, reduction of spasticity, expansion of the range of active movements, as well as improvement of cognitive and speech functions. According to instrumental control data, there was a tendency toward stabilization of hemolymphodynamic indicators.Conclusions. A comprehensive rehabilitation program using Traumeel S was associated with positive dynamics in the neurological status and motor development of children with perinatal brain damage. The results obtained indicate the advisability of further studying the effectiveness of this approach in the structure of early recovery therapy.
