What can be worse than enduring constant pain? A little girl who has never experienced anything but pain. It is hard to imagine that a six month old baby starts showing signs of physical disorder. Her parents became highly distressed seeing her condition. They showed the young baby to a pediatric. After undergoing a few diagnostic investigations, young Alisha was detected with Cerebral Palsy. The coming days went by in search for finding the perfect cure for their child. They visited a string of doctors and therapists together. Alisha was put under basic physiotherapy exercise but her case was too severe to respond to just this form of treatment. Unsatisfied with the results, her parents began their search yet again. It was not long before they discovered NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute and approached Dr. Alok Sharma and Dr. Nandini Gokulchandran who explained them about regenerative medication for cerebral palsy. Till then, they didn’t know what life had in store for their daughter. Everything changed after that meeting.
Patient’s life after treatment at Neurogen
The doctors discovered that she had poor head and oromotor control and difficulty in balancing. She underwent stem cell therapy along with a rehabilitation program. Her parents were happy to see Alisha’s improve better with each growing day. She underwent stem cell therapy the second time after the success of the first treatment. Her tongue protrusion is natural, her drooling has lessened and her vocalizations are more natural. After her second therapy, more improvements could be seen on her. Her oromotor skills had improved, she attempts to speak which was great and her static sitting balance had improved. Alisha seems happy and it reflected in the way she laughed aloud and mingled around with children of her age. She has become responsive to her parent’s commands and care.
How did it impact the lives of those around her?
The struggle that her parents endured was beyond words. What can be worse for a parent than watching their child grow in constant pain and no hope for a happy and successful future? But their quiet patience and perseverance paid off. When doors were shut on their face saying that there was no hope for their daughter, they did not give up even once. Alisha now has the chance to live a healthy and close to normal lifestyle. And that alone has made them the happiest they have ever been till date.
