Cerebral Palsy
Safe Treatment for Cerebral Palsy & Neurological Movement Disorders
UPDATED November 21,2016 – If the fetal brain is harmed in any way during pregnancy, delivery or following birth, Cerebral Palsy can occur. CP is frequently accompanied by mental retardation, hearing loss,difficulty in speaking, lack of coordination,seizures and blindness. About 25% of instances are brought about by prenatal forces like improper nutrition, x-rays,anemia, viruses or premature delivery. About 40% of Cerebral Palsy patient diagnosis are brought on by hypoxia (the lack of oxygen) wile other causes remain idiopathic (unknown).(Keeratisiroj et al. 2015)*
Physical Impairment due to Cerebral Palsy
Children with Cerebral Palsy will likely show early signs of physical impairment. The type of physical dysfunction, location and extent of impairment varies person to person. CP can affect legs,arms or the face. CP can affect one limb, several limbs, or in some extreme cases all the limbs.
CP and its variants affects muscles and a childs’ ability to control them properly. Muscles can sometimes contract too little or too much. Limbs can also become stiff overtime and forced into awkward painful positions. Uneven muscle contractions can also make the patients limbs shake, writhe and/or tremble. A patients posture, coordination and balance are also usually affected by CP. Simple tasks such as standing up, sitting down, walking can be very difficult for some, while other patients have problems grasping objects. Other complications of Cerebral Palsy include, mental/intellectual impairment, frequent seizures, and hearing or vision or hearing impairments.
The regeneration center takes advantage of an effective and efficient cell therapy choice for all those suffering with cerebral palsy. In contrast to conventional remedies, our stem cell protocol is much different in terms of how we target to repair the brain tissue damage itself (similar to our treatment for Alzheimer’s and MS ) and what we do differently to recover/regenerate the patients physical functions. Stem cell therapy for CP focuses on the root of the issue and not just the signs and symptoms.
Reverse Cerebral Palsy With Stem Cells
Cell death and Entrapment neuropathy happens when cells are injured. These dead cells are however surrounded by both healthy and damaged cells. Stem cells have the unique capabilities to stimulate the healing of those injured cells via the secretion of cytokines. The objective of the stem cell treatment for Cerebral Palsy would be to help repair the injured cells in the immediate regions of the lesions. This targeted stimulation may result in enhanced signs and symptoms primarily physically and through movements.(Kumban et al. 2013)*
The majority of patients who have received stem cell treatments for CP show improvements following the very first or sometime second transplant. They continue to show improvement for about 6 months to 1 year. For most CP and motor neuron patients undergoing stem cell therapy the results are permanent.
Cord Blood Stem Cells Therapy for CP (VDO)
Mono Plegia
Spastic monoplegia a type of cerebral palsy, results from brain injuries. It is different from other types of CP. Monoplegia (mono = 1) causes a defect in movement of 1 of the two limbs of the human body, usually an arm, which is either the left or the right side.
It’s extremely uncommon and numerous authorities think about it as a type of Hemiplegia with mild connection from the other limb of the affected side of the body. Monoplegia cerebral palsy is a result of a permanent lesion within the motor cortex region from the brain which might be total or partial. Like all other kinds of cerebral palsy, the condition are sometimes irrevocable which means that there’s no opportunity of regeneration. (Kułak-Bejda et al. 2016)*
Identification of CP is essentially a process of elimination since there are lots of other diseases that cause similar symptoms such as brain tumors, metabolic disorders, Erbs palsy, brachial plexus palsy etc. Stem cell therapy for CP can offer genuine improvements for Monoplegia patients.
Types of CP Treated With Stem Cells
How Stem Cells Help Treat Neurological Disorders like Cerebral Palsy
Cord blood stem cells have been especially helpful in patients with brain injuries. Cord blood derived stem cells have capability to divide and alter into neural-like stem cells. These adult stem cells have been proven to migrate towards the damaged regions, and to promote therapeutic processes, which might assist in repairing brain damage. That cord blood stem are also very responsive to the body’s immune response following an injury, by interacting directly using the organs and cells from the immune system that allow the body to repair itself.(Wang et al. 2015)*
