Insurance typically covers established cerebral-palsy treatments but not stem-cell therapy, which is self-pay. A few academic institutions enrol patients in registered trials without charge.
Indicative European costs are roughly €4,000–€7,500 per course. Paediatric infusions add safety monitoring and often use multiple small doses over weeks. Some protocols bundle intensive rehabilitation, adding further cost. For context, physiotherapy, botulinum toxin and orthopaedic surgery are established, often insurance-covered interventions — the stem-cell figure is indicative and unproven.
