Type of Cerebral Palsy and Stem Cell Treatment in China

Theoretically speaking, there are mainly four types of cerebral palsy, which are spastic cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy, athetoid cerebral palsy, and mixed cerebral palsy respectively, and there are some other types of cerebral palsy. The spastic one is the most common type in among four types of cerebral palsy, accounting for about 60 percent of all cases. Among them, both the ataxic cerebral palsy and the athetoid cerebral palsy have their some unique symptoms that are different from those of the spastic cerebral palsy. However, the mixed cerebral palsy’s symptoms are basically the combination of the spastic and athetoid cerebral palsy. The rest ones are relatively rare.

Although there is not cure cerebral palsy at present, there are some treatments can improve the condition and weaken the disorder dramatically to a certain extent. There are many kinds of therapy that people can consider. Therapeutic methods uses will depend on the type of cerebral palsy. There have many methods, such as occupational therapy, psychotherapy, and physical therapy.  However, demonstrated both by clinical treatment and therapeutic effect, stem cell transplantation treatment is the best available choice at present.

Stem cell is a type of variety functions cells with self replication ability. On one hand, stem cell has secretion function; it can secrete cell growth factor and nutrition substance, which can offer nutrition for damaged cells. On the other hand, stem cell has repairing function, it can repairing damaged cells and recovery their function to keep the normal human body.

Our department is the first stem cell treatment center focusing on the clinical use of stem cells based on the research, follow-up treatment and rehabilitation. We have more than ten years hard work, and we have treated more than 6,500 patients till June, 2013. After finished stem cell transplantation treatment most patients can feel the improvement, and the improvement can be seen from normal walking posture, normal speaking, and reduction of muscular tension. The treatment is not only can stop disease progression, but also can extend patient's life and improve the living quality in a certain period of time.
