Cerebral Palsy is the name given to a group of permanent disorders related to movements of the body, which start to appear in the early childhood age. The disease is the most common disorder related to body movement and affects nearly 2 out of every 1000 live births. Some of the common symptoms of the health condition include stiff muscles, poor coordination, tremors, and weak muscles, among others. Other problems associated with hearing, vision, feel or sensation, speaking, and swallowing, may also be there. Babies that get affected by the disease do not have normal development, and are prone to late walking, while also not being able to crawl, or sit. Mental development problems cause difficulty in the child’s capability to reason or think. While the symptoms are exhibited over a few early years of life, the problems do not worsen over time, thereby making the disorder non-progressive.
Stem Cell Therapy For CP
Therapeutic measures, including medications, rehabilitation, and others do not repair the underlying damages of the brain. Treatment for cerebral palsy is provided today through the use of stem cells. The therapeutic stem cells have the self-renewal and differentiating property, and once transplanted inside the body, they can repair the damage caused to the brain.
Only a handful of healthcare institutions across the world are ISO certified to offer safe stem cell therapy, to those who suffer from CP and other neurological disorders. The NeuroGen Brain and Spine Research Institute (located at Mumbai) is one of the most leading healthcare facilities that offers stem cell therapy for CP treatment, autism treatment, and for the treatment of other neurological disorders.
NGBSI uses the autologous (cells derived from the body of the patient itself) stem cells for treating CP. Once transplanted, the cells migrate to the damaged tissue areas of the brain and initiate repair. The stem cells also release certain trophic factors, which can control the damage that affects the cells of the nervous system. Stem cells establish the new blood vessels, prevent cell death, boost cell multiplication, ease integration, and also establish the new neuronal maps within the brain that enhance learning.
Stem cell therapy at Neurogen can repair the damaged tissues, and can also regenerate them. The clinical improvements also better the quality of life of those who are affected by the neurological disorder. As NGSBI, only uses the autologous stem cell for the treatment of Cerebral Palsy, there is no danger of immune rejection. Post stem cell therapy; the CP affected individuals show improvements in trunk activity, balancing, speech, upper and lower limb activity, and in other areas.
Rehabilitation
NGBSI combines stem cell therapy with a unique rehabilitation program. The therapies that are provided to the patient under this program include yoga therapy, dance and music therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy, and other therapies. The therapies synergize with the positive effects of stem cell therapy that benefit manifold.
Expert Care
NGBSI empanels different therapy providers and health practitioners so that all the direct and related symptoms of CP can be addressed in the best and most efficient way. The Neurogen expert team consists of a neurologist, neurosurgeon, occupational therapists, physiotherapist, speech therapist, Neuro-paediatric therapist, dietitian and others. There is also a secondary team comprising of surgeons (including plastic and orthopaedic surgeons), neurologist, ophthalmologist, ENT specialist, gastroenterologist, and others.
NGBSI is often termed as the best centre of stem cell therapy. We, at NGBSI also offer accommodation, travel assistance, and other privileges, so that patients from different parts of the world can easily receive world-class stem cell therapy at the institute.
