Evidence does not firmly support it. Unproven therapy competes with proven interventions: intensive physiotherapy and occupational therapy demonstrably improve function, and botulinum toxin and surgery address specific problems. A child's budget directed to sustained, high-quality therapy typically yields more functional gain than a single infusion. Consider stem cells only within research trials, ideally those that include intensive rehabilitation.
Cerebral palsy results from non-progressive brain injury around the time of birth, producing motor dysfunction, spasticity and variable cognitive or sensory impairment. Stem-cell research targets neuroprotection and plasticity: placental mesenchymal stem cells are studied for anti-inflammatory effects that may limit secondary neuronal loss and reduce spasticity, while neurogenic cells are explored to support damaged motor circuitry and synaptic reorganisation. Because the brain injury is fixed, intervention aims to limit secondary damage and enhance plasticity rather than reverse established damage. Trials enrol children and young adults; reported outcomes include spasticity reduction and motor-function changes, usually alongside intensive physiotherapy.
