Patient's question:

The child is now 5 years old and suffers from cerebral palsy, mainly with language. Can stem cell or biological cell therapy treat it? Will it leave behind sequelae? I hope the doctor can provide clarification. Can stem cell or biological cell therapy treat cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy treatment stabilizes motor function by enhancing joint mobility, readjusting muscle tone, and improving activity control, coordination, strength, and endurance to increase self-care abilities. Additionally, medication can be used, with common drugs including neurotrophic drugs for the brain and muscle relaxants. Medication should only be used when necessary.
Patients with this condition should first avoid excessive hot and irritating foods that upset the stomach. In daily diet, it is important to avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy, greasy foods. Pay attention to consuming sufficient protein, vitamins, and other nutrients, while eating more fruits and vegetables.
