CP typically results from in utero or perinatal brain injury such as hypoxic insult, haemorrhage, or stroke. Affected children have varying degrees of functional impairments from mild limitations in advanced motor skills to severely limited self-mobility despite use of assistive technology resulting in a lifelong inability to function independently. Currently, the cornerstone of treatment is various therapies to optimize function and quality of life. However, no curative therapies are available.<\/p>\n<p>Results of this trial suggest that when dosed \u22652 \u00d7 10<sup>7<\/sup>\u00a0cells per kg, an IV infusion of ACB improves whole brain connectivity and motor function in young children with CP. These findings have important implications for the treatment of children with CP and should be further explored in future studies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/sctm.17-0102\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollowr noopener\">Click here to read the study in full.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"helpful-block-content wth-theme-thumbs\" data-title=\"\" >\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"wth-title\">Was this Helpful?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a data-post=\"7458\" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/futurehealthbiobank.com\/sa-en\/blog\/cord-blood-stem-cells-used-cerebral-palsy-treatment\/\" data-post-title=\"Cord Blood Stem Cells used in Cerebral Palsy Treatment\" data-response=\"1\" href=\"#\" class=\"wth-green-btn icon-thumbsup icon1-thumbs-up4\">Yes<\/a><a data-response=\"0\" data-post=\"7458\" data-post-url=\"https:\/\/futurehealthbiobank.com\/sa-en\/blog\/cord-blood-stem-cells-used-cerebral-palsy-treatment\/\" data-post-title=\"Cord Blood Stem Cells used in Cerebral Palsy Treatment\" href=\"#\" class=\"wth-red-btn icon-thumbsdown icon1-thumbs-down4\">No<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Results of the latest study by Dr Joanne Kurtzberg give new hope to Cerebral Palsy sufferers, through use of cord blood stem cells.
