- Introduction to Cerebral Palsy (CP): Cerebral palsy is a neuromuscular disease resulting from an injury to an infant's brain. This disorder leads to various neurological dysfunctions in the affected individual.
- Current Treatment Limitations: Despite the existence of various treatment methods for managing CP, there hasn't been a definitive cure. Some of the current treatments can cause discomfort or side effects in patients.
- Stem Cell Therapy as a Potential Treatment: Recently, stem cell therapy has garnered significant attention as a potential therapeutic method for treating CP. The primary objective of this treatment is to utilize the regenerative capacity of stem cells to form new tissues, replacing the damaged ones.
- Evidence from Research: Several studies, both in animals and humans with CP, have shown the promising potential of stem cell transplantation in treating the disorder.
- Challenges and Uncertainties: Despite the growing interest and research in stem cell therapy, there are still many unresolved issues related to this treatment method. A considerable effort is required to develop this into a flawless treatment technology.
- Conclusion: The review emphasizes the need for further research and understanding of stem cell therapy for CP. It also highlights evidence from current clinical trials that explore the scientific background of this potential treatment.
