There is limited evidence supporting the current therapies used to manage pain in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, according to a recent study. Further research to explore multidisciplinary interventions for chronic pain and pain secondary to dystonia — involuntary muscle contractions — along with a standardized approach to pain…
Neural stem cells can repair damaged parts of the brain while restoring motor impairments in a mouse model of mice of cerebral palsy, a study has found. The study, “Exogeneous neural precursor cell transplantation results in structural and functional recovery in a hypoxic-ischemic hemiplegic mouse model,” was published in…
Data collected from a registry established at a private U.S. cord blood bank called the Longitudinal Umbilical Stem cell Monitoring and Treatment Research (LUSTRE) may provide valuable information about patients with cerebral palsy, according to researchers. Their findings were published in the study, “Comparison of children diagnosed with…
A virtual reality system equipped with wearable haptic technology could help children with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments rehabilitate upper limbs, an Italian study suggested. The study, “Wearable haptics and immersive virtual reality rehabilitation training in children with neuromotor impairments,” was published in IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems…
