A four-year-old boy still cannot walk or talk. Is there still hope for medical treatment?

Patient's question:

She had pregnancy-induced hypertension. She started teething at five months old and has been developing slower since birth. She has been treated in hospitals such as the Nanhai Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Foshan, Guangdong, and has undergone brain CT scans, which showed normal brain structure. Chromosome and blood/urine screenings also revealed no abnormalities, and all test results were normal. She rarely gets colds or other minor illnesses, and can be considered healthy. Currently, she is doing exercises and massages at home for him, but the results are not significant. No underlying cause has been identified. She now weighs only 23 pounds.

Doctor's answer:

It is possible that the treatment for cerebral palsy primarily focuses on cell permeation repair therapy. The principle of cell permeation repair therapy is that nerve cells are multipotent cells originating from the central nervous system, which possess the ability to self-renew throughout their lifetime and can be induced to differentiate into various types of mature nerve cells. They serve as the source for the formation and development of the nervous system, with the main function of acting as a reserve to participate in the repair of nervous system injuries or the renewal of normal nerve cell apoptosis. By transplanting nerve cells into the damaged central nervous system, the structure of the damaged nerve tissue can be reconstructed, and the corresponding physiological functions can be restored. Therefore, the clinical therapeutic effects for patients with cerebral palsy and neurological diseases are clear and ideal.
