Andrew Ricci -- Cerebral Palsy
Andrew Ricci and his family journeyed to China to receive injections of umbilical cord blood stem cells toward the treatment of cerebral palsy. Adult stem cell therapy for cerebral palsy does not offer a cure today. But it can improve quality of life for the patient.

About this data
Patients self-assess each symptom on a 5-point scale (Worse / No improvement / Small / Moderate / Significant) at follow-up checkpoints after treatment, comparing to their pre-treatment baseline. "Reported improvement" combines the small, moderate and significant buckets. Data is updated daily from our internal patient registry. As with any medical treatment, past results do not guarantee future outcomes — improvements vary from patient to patient.
