What Is Rett Syndrome?
10. Treatment
There is no known cure for Rett syndrome, but treatment is available that can help to improve the patient’s quality of life. This includes physical therapy that will help the patient to maintain skills such as sitting and walking as much as possible. Occupational therapy can also help the patient to learn to do more for themselves, such as feeding and dressing themselves.
Medication is also available that will help to treat symptoms like difficulty sleeping and breathing, as well as stiff muscles, and seizures. Speech therapy can also be very helpful, while therapists can also help to improve the patient’s behavioural symptoms.
