Cerebral Palsy - Stem Cell Therapy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a lifelong neurological disorder caused by brain injury during early development, leading to movement and posture problems.
Stem cell therapy offers a regenerative approach by repairing damaged brain tissue and improving motor function.
It’s an emerging treatment providing renewed hope for better quality of life.
Overview And Clinical Background
Understanding Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy affects muscle tone, movement, and coordination due to damage in areas controlling motor function.
Stem cell therapy aims to replace or heal these damaged cells, promoting neurological recovery.
- Cause: Birth complications, infections, or lack of oxygen during development.
- Manifests as spasticity, stiffness, or involuntary movements.
- Stem cell role: Restores neural pathways by regenerating damaged tissue.
Symptoms, Signs And Presentation
Symptoms depend on brain region affected and may vary from mild to severe.
Early therapy improves long-term outcomes.
- Common symptom: Muscle stiffness, poor balance, or delayed motor milestones.
- Difficulty in swallowing, speech, or fine motor control.
- Red flag: Severe developmental delay or loss of previously acquired skills.
Diagnosis Methods And Investigations
Neurological And Developmental Evaluation
Diagnosis relies on developmental assessment, brain imaging, and exclusion of other conditions.
Stem cell suitability is evaluated through thorough medical review.
- Imaging: MRI reveals brain injury patterns related to motor control regions.
- Lab tests: Blood work ensures patient fitness for therapy.
- Functional scales measure mobility, muscle tone, and responsiveness.
Treatment Options And Surgical Techniques
Stem cell therapy is often combined with rehabilitation for maximum benefit.
The goal is to restore function, not just manage symptoms.
- Conservative: Physical, occupational, and speech therapy form the base of care.
- Stem cell therapy: Mesenchymal stem cells are injected to promote neuroregeneration and reduce spasticity.
- Surgical interventions may address deformities or severe muscle tightness.
Recovery, Risks And Prognosis
Recovery varies by individual.
Most patients show improvement in movement, coordination, and daily activity after several therapy sessions.
Stem cell therapy is generally safe under expert supervision.
