Cerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term encompassing a group of non-progressive,non-contagious motor conditions that cause physical disability in human development, chiefly in the various areas of body movement.Cerebral refers to the cerebrum, which is the affected area of the brain, and palsy refers to disorder of movement.

Stem cells from umbilical cord used for cerebral palsy treatment
Cerebral palsy is a major health problem, affecting approximately 1 in 500 newborns. It is caused by damage to the brain by lack of oxygen before birth. The scientific rationale for the use of stem cells for this condition has been discussed previously in the video Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy.

The Cerebral Palsy and the treatment
The term cerebral palsy refers to any one of a number of neurological disorders that appear in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination but don't worsen over time.

Therapy and Treatment for Cerebral Palsy
Following your child's interdisciplinary assessment, the professionals providing care for your child will develop recommendations for treatment of his or her cerebral palsy. Many treatments are available to help a child function at the highest level possible. Although many treatments are available, we will touch upon a few of the most basic approaches used today to help a children with cerebral palsy achieve their optimal level of functioning.

Cerebral Palsy Diagnosis
How is the diagnosis of cerebral palsy made? When an infant or child has brain damage, a variety of symptoms can lead doctors and parents to suspect that something is wrong. In the first few months of life, an infant with brain damage may demonstrate some or all of the following symptoms that can indicate.

Cerebral Palsy Statistics
Because cerebral palsy influences the way children develop, it is known as a developmental disability. In the United States today, more people have cerebral palsy than any other developmental disability, including Down syndrome, epilepsy, and autism.

History of Cerebral Palsy in Children
Cerebral palsy is not a new disorder. There have probably been children with cerebral palsy as long as there have been children. But the medical profession did not begin to study cerebral palsy as a distinct medical condition until 1861.

Adult Stem Cells Treat Cerebral Palsy
Europe's leading stem cell organization, the XCell-Center of Germany, has released results from a follow-up study in which significant improvement was seen in 67% of 45 cerebral palsy patients who were treated with their own autologous adult stem cells derived from bone marrow.

Decline in Cerebral Palsy Diagnoses in Premature Infants Suggests Improvements in Perinatal Care
Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects motor function, more often in children born prematurely. Because cerebral palsy is a result of brain injury received shortly before, during, or soon after birth, the number of infants being diagnosed with the condition is a good indicator of the quality of perinatal and neonatal care. An article soon to be published in the Journal of Pediatrics indicates that the rates of cerebral palsy have declined dramatically in the past 15 years.

Mannitol Boosts Effectiveness of Potential Cord Blood Treatment for CP
The sugar-alcohol compound mannitol improved the therapeutic effectiveness of human umbilical cord blood cells injected into neonatal rat models of cerebral palsy, reports a new international study led by the University of South Florida. The mannitol opened the blood-brain barrier by temporarily shrinking the tight endothelial cells that make up the barrier.

Stem cell Treatment for Cerebral Palsy
We have recently developed a comprehensive program for Cerebral Palsy patients combining both nerve stem cell activation and stimulation treatment, and stem cells injections. This combined treatment has so far proven itself to be the most effective means to achieving a high level of recovery.
