Hello,

Sorry to say but there are no proven recent advances to show the results of stem cell therapy in mental retardation and epileptic episodes to promising levels. His prescribed medications are best for him, continue the same and remain in regular follow up with his neuro-physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
