Cerebral palsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture, resulting from non-progressive damage to the developing brain during pregnancy or early childhood. The condition arises from various causes such as prenatal hypoxia, premature birth, infection, intracranial hemorrhage, or genetic metabolic disorders. Individuals with cerebral palsy may experience difficulties in motor coordination, muscle stiffness or weakness, and abnormal body posture. In many cases, these motor impairments are accompanied by challenges in sensation, cognition, communication, and behavior.
For patients and families, cerebral palsy can significantly affect daily life, independence, and emotional well-being, making long-term care and rehabilitation essential. In recent years, stem cell therapy for cerebral palsy has emerged as a promising approach aimed at repairing damaged neural tissues and improving motor and cognitive functions. Both stem cell treatment for children and adults with cerebral palsy have shown encouraging potential in enhancing mobility, muscle control, and overall quality of life. Parents exploring stem cell therapy for a cerebral palsy child often find renewed hope in this innovative, science-driven treatment option that seeks to support recovery and improve functional outcomes.
Not all stem cells are the same — and when it comes to repairing delicate neural networks, the type and quality of stem cells matter deeply. In stem cell therapy for cerebral palsy, researchers and clinicians primarily use two scientifically proven types: neural stem cells (NSCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
Neural stem cells have the unique ability to develop into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes — the essential building blocks of the brain. These cells can help reconstruct damaged neural circuits and restore the communication between brain and muscle, which is crucial for improving mobility, coordination, and cognitive performance.
Mesenchymal stem cells, on the other hand, are renowned for their versatility and strong immunoregulatory effects. They can release a variety of neurotrophic and growth factors that promote nerve regeneration, reduce inflammation, and enhance blood circulation within the injured area. This makes MSCs a cornerstone in modern stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy — offering both neuroprotection and regeneration.
At SunMoon, we use clinically certified, high-purity mesenchymal stem cells derived from carefully screened, ethically sourced umbilical cord tissue. These stem cells are processed under strict GMP standards to ensure safety, activity, and consistency — delivering optimal therapeutic potential for every patient.
Because at SunMoon, we don't just offer treatment — we offer hope, grounded in science.
With over 20 years of clinical practice, SunMoon has built one of the world's most comprehensive treatment records in stem cell therapy for cerebral palsy. Since 2003, our medical team has successfully performed over 10,000 cases, helping patients regain mobility, confidence, and independence.
Caused by pyramidal tract injury; characterized by high muscle tone and overactive reflexes.
Originates from cerebellar injury; leads to poor balance and coordination.
Due to basal ganglia damage; marked by involuntary movements and abnormal posture.
Involves multiple regions, showing combined symptoms of the above types.
| Improvement Area | Observed Results |
| Motor Function | 1–2 level increase in GMFCS scale; better gait stability, improved hand coordination |
| Muscle Tone | Reduced spasticity (lower Ashworth score), improved joint mobility, corrected abnormal postures |
| Language & Cognition | Enhanced comprehension and expression; cognitive scores (e.g., Gesell scale) up by 30%–50% |
| Sensory Integration | Improved balance, tactile response, visual-motor coordination, and spatial awareness |
| Daily Independence | Greater ability in self-care (eating, dressing); reduced reliance on assistive devices |
| Seizure Reduction | 60% of epilepsy patients reported >50% fewer seizures and reduced medication dosage |
| Emotional & Behavioral Health | Noticeable decrease in anxiety and hyperactivity; improved social interaction and adaptability |
A Seamless, Professional, and Caring Treatment Journey
At SunMoon, science can restore hope — from consultation to recovery, we're with you every step of the way.
Stem cell therapy aims to repair and regenerate damaged brain tissue, improving neural communication and motor control. By replacing injured cells and releasing neurotrophic factors, it can help reduce muscle stiffness, improve mobility, enhance cognitive function, and support overall quality of life in both children and adults with cerebral palsy.
The main stem cells used are mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and neural stem cells (NSCs). At SunMoon, all stem cells are ethically sourced and processed under GMP-certified standards to ensure safety and effectiveness.
The cost varies depending on the treatment method, number of stem cell injections, and rehabilitation requirements. On average, a complete treatment program may range from USD $10,000–$25,000. For a precise quotation, our medical consultants will provide a personalized assessment based on your condition and treatment goals.
Recent advancements combine stem cell therapy with AI-assisted rehabilitation and traditional Chinese medicine techniques to enhance neuroplasticity and accelerate recovery. SunMoon's latest innovation — the Personal Health Digital Twin Platform — allows real-time tracking of patient progress and continuous optimization of rehabilitation plans.
Patients are advised to avoid smoking, alcohol, strenuous exercise, and unprescribed medications for at least several weeks post-treatment. Maintaining a balanced diet, adequate rest, and following your doctor's rehabilitation instructions are crucial for achieving the best outcomes.
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive neurological disorder, meaning the brain injury does not worsen over time but cannot be completely reversed. However, with stem cell therapy combined with intensive rehabilitation, many patients have achieved significant improvements in muscle control, cognition, and independence — greatly enhancing their quality of life.
