Braden Frohman - Cerebral Palsy (Spastic Quadriparetic)
Braden received umbilical cord blood stem cell injections in China for the treatment of Spastic Quad Cerebral Palsy, a condition which leads to rough involuntary muscle movements. In this video Braden's father, Aaron discusses his family's decision to bring Braden to China and the improvements they've seen in his condition through the therapy. Adult stem cell therapy is not a cure for cerebral palsy. But it can offer quality of life improvements for patients.

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.
