Stem Cell Treatment for Cerebral Palsy

Every day, R3 Stem Cell Treatment Center receives inquiries worldwide from individuals asking if stem cell therapy can help with Cerebral Palsy. Spoiler alert: It can help a lot! In this guide, we’ll go through the basics of how stem cells and exosomes work, the latest research, and what to expect with a regenerative procedure.

A Significant Global Issue

Cerebral palsy (CP), the most prevalent motor disorder of childhood, affects two to three per 1,000 live births. CP typically results from in utero or perinatal brain injuries such as hypoxic insult, hemorrhage, or stroke.

 

Affected children have varying degrees of functional impairments from mild limitations in advanced motor skills to severely limited self-mobility despite the use of assistive technology, often resulting in a lifelong inability to function independently.

Current Treatment Options for CP

Despite extensive treatment, neurological impairments still eventually lead CP patients to lifelong disability. While traditional treatment can bring improvement for sufferers of mild to moderate CP, severe CP lacks effective intervention options.

 

To date, no disease-modifying treatments have been found in CP. Current therapies focus on treating disabilities and managing associated comorbidities. The integral treatments include physical therapy and rehabilitation, but they have limited effectiveness in most cases.

Stem Cell Therapy for Cerebral Palsy (CP)

In recent years, stem cell transplantation has emerged as a promising treatment strategy in clinical practices and various clinical trials. Studies on stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy provide a new treatment strategy and have shown exceptional results.

 

Compared to other types of stem cells, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) offer potential advantages of easy accessibility, immunosuppression, and low immunogenicity, making them attractive and promising in treating various diseases.

Research Findings

A meta-analysis published in 2020 evaluated four studies totaling 189 participants. A meta-analysis pools results from multiple studies to potentially achieve statistical significance.

 

GMFM scores (Gross Motor Function Measure) are crucial for evaluating changes in gross motor function for CP after interventions. They help determine the effectiveness and benefit of interventional therapy by measuring changes in gross motor skill acquisition in children with CP.

 

Children’s gross motor function is commonly evaluated by rehabilitation specialists using GMFM scores. The GMFM scored items consist of 5 parts:

The items are scored on a four-point scale:

Higher GMFM scores indicate better capacity and favorable prognosis in children with CP.

 

To provide reliable and high-quality evidence, the meta-analysis authors included three randomized controlled trials of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in CP. The pooled results showed that MSC therapy significantly increased GMFM scores in children with CP compared to the control group.

 

Moreover, a subgroup analysis of GMFM scores at 3, 6, and 12 months showed that MSC therapy significantly increased GMFM scores at all three time points.

Comprehensive Functional Assessment (CFA) in Cerebral Palsy Treatment

CFA is primarily used to evaluate functional improvement and therapeutic effects in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). A pooled analysis indicated that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy significantly improved CFA scores compared to the control group.

Subgroup Analysis of CFA Scores

Researchers conducted a subgroup analysis on CFA scores, which revealed:

These results were observed in children with CP compared to the control group.

High-Quality Evidence for MSC Therapy

The study concluded that MSC therapy for CP improved the comprehensive function of patients with high-quality evidence.

Implications for Future Research and Treatment

The observation that higher cell doses led to better responses is crucial for future studies. While the initial target was 1-5 × 10^7 total nucleated cells/kg based on safety data from allogeneic cord blood transplantation, additional analyses revealed significant improvements in gross motor function when ACB was administered at doses higher than the mean.

Duke University conducted a follow-up study using allogeneic cord blood for CP in 91 children aged 2 to 5 years. The study compared three groups:

Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells: A Promising Treatment

A 2015 safety study by Feng et al investigated the use of allogeneic umbilical cord blood stem cells in patients with severe cerebral palsy (CP). The study, conducted in China, involved 47 patients who received 20 to 30 million cells per injection, with 4-8 injections administered based on individual health conditions.

How Stem Cells and Exosomes Work for CP

Stem cells and exosomes act in the body through several mechanisms. They do NOT become part of a patient’s DNA, which means they do not engraft into the person’s existing cells. The predominant method of action is thought to be through paracrine mechanisms, which means “cell to cell” interaction.

Key Mechanisms of Action

Extracellular Molecule Release

Stem cells can release a variety of molecules into the extracellular environment. These molecules, including extracellular vesicles, lipids, free nucleic acids, and soluble proteins, play crucial roles in repairing damaged tissue.

R3 Stem Cell's Unique Offering

R3 Stem Cell includes stem cell exosomes in their treatment for Cerebral Palsy. These exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicle that participate in extensive cell-to-cell communication for new blood flow creation.

Origin of Stem Cells and Exosomes

R3 Stem Cell’s regenerative biologics come from umbilical cord tissue donated after scheduled c-sections. No harm comes to the baby or mother during this process. The umbilical cord tissue, normally discarded, is sent to the lab if the mother passes rigorous screening tests mandated by the USA FDA.

Lab Processing

The lab carefully processes the umbilical cord to generate large amounts of high-quality stem cells and exosomes. The lab team, consisting of multiple PhDs, works in ISO Certified, cGMP compliant clean rooms to ensure quality that exceeds USA FDA standards.

Production Process

Millions of dollars have been invested in the pharmaceutical-grade production of these biologics. The process involves:

The quality assurance testing complies with screening and testing standards consistent with the American Association of Tissue Banks, cGMP standards, FDA regulations, and the highest level of any regulatory agency globally.

Stem Cell Derived Exosomes

R3 Stem Cell’s Centers of Excellence globally incorporate umbilical cord stem cell derived exosomes with umbilical cord stem cells to provide enhanced results for patients with Cerebral Palsy.

Understanding Exosomes

Exosomes are lipid-bound vesicles (acellular) produced by cells, containing a plethora of growth factors, cytokines, mRNA, and other proteins. They play a crucial role in:

Exosomes act as shuttles, sending nucleic acids and proteins to other cells, regulating intracellular information. They could be the mediators of many stem cell-associated therapeutic activities.

The R3 Stem Cell Advantage

At R3 Stem Cell, we’ve observed exosomes to be “faster acting” than stem cells. We frequently use them in conjunction with stem cells to provide a “1-2 punch” for patient outcomes.

Safety of Stem Cell Therapy

After a decade of performing over 25,000 stem cell procedures worldwide, R3 can confidently state that our regenerative procedures are safe. Our quality control during stem cell production is second to none.

Potential Side Effects

Side effects are usually mild to moderate and temporary, including:

All R3 Centers are equipped to quickly resolve any allergic reactions.

Addressing Common Concerns

Will the stem cells get rejected?

No. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are “immunologically privileged” due to their unique properties:

  • Low expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) antigens
  • Lack of co-stimulatory molecules essential for immune detection

Is there a chance of tumor formation?

No. Current research concludes that MSCs and exosomes used in treatment have no tumor-forming potential. In fact, they have shown anti-tumor properties.

R3 Stem Cell's Protocol for Cerebral Palsy

Our successful treatment protocol includes:

This combination ensures that millions of stem cells easily reach the brain. We use one to four million stem cells per kilogram of body weight, along with 50 to 100 billion exosomes per procedure.

Exceptional Outcomes

R3 Stem Cell’s outcomes for Cerebral Palsy have been exceptional, with an 85% patient/family satisfaction rate year over year. Patients typically experience:

Note: Results may vary between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

Affordability and Maintenance

We understand the importance of making stem cell therapy affordable, as it’s not typically a permanent cure. Many patients seek additional treatments every 12 to 18 months for maintenance or further improvements.

 

R3 Stem Cell’s fees are less than half of what comparable reputable regenerative clinics charge.

 

Caution: Be wary of clinics trying to pass off Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as stem cell therapy. If they only mention taking your blood for treatment, it’s NOT stem cell therapy!

R3 Stem Cell's Decade of Experience

Over the past ten years, R3 Stem Cell’s Centers have:

We combine safety, effectiveness, and affordability in our therapies. Internationally, we use the Intellicell, which cultures the most active MSCs to create the “smartest” stem cell in the world!
