There is no treatment for Thalidomide. It is a birth deformity caused by the drug Thalidomide, taken during pregnancy.
The treatment is NOT to take Thalidomide. It has obviously been banned, since finding the connection between it and birth defects in the 1950's.
With modern levels of political correctness, those that suffer from birth defects are treated very well and with respect.
Most sufferers manage to adapt to their circumstances very well and lead mostly normal lives.
The defects are not genetic and sufferers can have normal offspring.
