Stem cell therapy opens up fundamentally new possibilities in the treatment of cerebral palsy. Transplanted into the body stem cells can stimulate the repair of nervous tissue and replace damaged cells, contributing to the functional restoration of the damaged parts of the brain. Stem cells enter the damaged areas of the brain, restore normal blood supply, activate their own reparative mechanisms of the nervous system of children. The earlier the treatment is started, the more effective it is. Nevertheless, the positive results in patients are observed even at the age of 20 years.
Stem cell procedure for cerebral palsy treatment
Stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy approximately lasts for a month. There are such levels of the treatment with stem cells:
- diagnostics (blood and urine analysis, MRI, CT and other necessary kinds of examination);
- development of the treatment plan;
- stem cell therapy;
- rehabilitation;
- evaluation of a patient’s condition.
For effective stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy, it is important to begin procedures as early as possible.
