Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Stem cell therapy for the deficit in nerve and muscle due to a birth injury to brain matter is in an experimental stage. Their safety and efficacy have to be established yet. At the moment most promising therapies are neuro physiotherapy. Brain tonics like methylcobalamin and piracetam also help such kids a lot.


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