Can Cerebral Palsy Be Cured Through Stem Cell Treatment?
I HAVE A 10 YEAR OLD BOY . HE SUFFERING C.P. HE CANNOT WALK PROPERLY AND DOES NOT CONTROL PROPERLY IN HIS BODY. I WANT TO TAKE STEM CELL TREATMENT THROGH INJECTION. WILL YOU TELL ME HOW MANY INJECTION BE GIVEN AND WHAT COST OF PER INJECTION.
As a neuroanesthetist i have seen many cases of stem cell therapy being performed on Cerebral palsy children with no definitive result. In my opinion it does not benefit. it is just marketing and commercialization of procedure.Various new strategies are being explored using stem cells, but it is unlikely that any of them will offer a full cure. Instead, they aim to limit the damage to cells in the brain and reduce the symptoms. Cerebral palsy is so difficult to treat because it can involve damage to many different types of cells in the brain. Severely damaged cells can be lost completely. Scientists expect that future treatments will aim to protect and repair damaged brain cells before they are entirely lost. This means it is likely that any new treatment will have to be applied within a small window of time, between the initial injury that has caused damage and the onset of permanent cell loss.
