Is stem cell therapy for Cerebral Palsy FDA-approved?
No generic stem-cell therapy is FDA-approved for cerebral palsy. A cord-blood bank, registered study, hospital or laboratory credential does not constitute product approval for this indication.
How stem cells are studied for Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy describes permanent disorders of movement and posture caused by disturbance in the developing brain; needs and associated conditions vary widely. Cell research has explored cord-blood and other products as possible modulators of inflammation or plasticity, usually alongside rehabilitation. These hypotheses do not mean that established brain injury is reversed or that different cell sources are equivalent.
