Summer - Cerebral Palsy Adult Stem Cell Patient
Summer traveled to Qingdao, China with her parents in 2010 for adult stem cell therapy. Her father, Cody, sat with us for an interview at Chengyang People's Hospital. Both of Summer's parents are nurses and home health professionals. Like most parents, they are highly tuned to the needs of their children. And for them all the more so due to their medical training. Cody talks about their expectations for stem cell treatment and how they perceive improvements in Summer's condition.
Improvement statistics
Based on follow-up reports from 256 patients across 640 forms, here is the percentage who self-reported any improvement after treatment.
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.
