Stem cell transplantation for cerebral palsy is still in the early phases.
More research is needed to determine how effective it could be. However, there
are some clinical trials testing the effectiveness of using umbilical cord blood
infusions to introduce stem cells into the body.
Cerebral palsy is a difficult condition to treat and an even harder one to
fully comprehend. The hope for a cure lies in getting a better understanding of
cerebral palsy, but it’s important to understand that the current goal of most
research is to learn new ways to reduce symptoms and limit brain damage. As
neuroscience advances our understanding of the developing brain, researchers
hope greater progress toward a cure will be made. Currently, efforts to find a
cure rest solely with stem cell therapy.
Acupuncture has also identified the importance of different forms of therapy
for treating CP. Acupuncture is an ancient form of therapy and is considered an
effective complementary medicine for cerebral palsy. Depending on its use,
acupuncture offers pain relief as well as the reduction of inflammation
throughout your body. The practice can also help restructure different parts of
the brain and improve muscle use and development.
