Question
A colleague’s four-year-old daughter has cerebral palsy due to brain hypoxia at birth. She inquires about the possibility of treatment.
Answer
Although complete recovery from cerebral palsy is not easy, through rehabilitation, massage, and stem cell transplantation, it is possible to approach normal levels of functioning. While modern medicine has limitations and medication can only act as an aid, continuous rehabilitation and stem cell transplantation are important means of treating cerebral palsy. Stem cell transplantation therapy involves transplanting or injecting healthy stem cells into the patient’s body to repair damaged cells or reconstruct normal cells and tissues.
