Hi,
Stem cell therapy can not cure cerebral palsy, although we have to consider the exact underlying cause also. In most of the cases, there is no cure for cerebral palsy, apart from improving functional capacity by regular physiotherapy and drugs to control spasticity/tightness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
