My uncle's sister gave birth to a baby, which was a particularly happy thing for everyone. But after a detailed examination, the doctor told us that the child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.

Can umbilical cord blood treat cerebral palsy

First, umbilical cord blood refers to the blood flowing out of the umbilical cord of the placenta after the umbilical cord of the newborn is ligated. Because there are abundant hematopoietic stem cells in neonatal cord blood, umbilical cord stem cell transplantation, on the one hand, can resist the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the treatment of leukemia and other hematological malignancies, on the other hand, it can also speed up the recovery time of patients' hematopoietic function. At present, it is mainly used for children's hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Second, cord blood is mainly used to store hematopoietic stem cells in cord blood. Hematopoietic stem cells are known to treat more than 70 diseases. With the rapid development of stem cell technology, more and more diseases can be treated by hematopoietic stem cells in the future. At present, it is mainly used in the treatment of children's hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Third: umbilical cord blood treatment technology is not too mature. Cerebral palsy should be recommended to the regular hospital to take effective treatment. According to the situation of children, there are a variety of treatment methods. According to the current clinical effect, the most effective and fundamental treatment method is nerve tissue repair therapy, which can supplement the damaged and necrotic cells in children's brain and solve the most fundamental problem.
