Stem Cell Therapy In Pediatric Neurological Disorders
There are some medical disorders that have remained very difficult to treat over the last many years. Pediatric neurological disorders like autism, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy have been some of them. All the advances in imaging, pharmacology and surgical techniques failed to make a significant dent in the quality of lives of these children. However in the recent few years there has been a development in the field of regenerative medicine whereby stem cell therapy has become available to us as a new treatment method . The biggest impact of stem cell therapy has been on the otherwise incurable pediatric neurological disorders. These are new and exciting times for pediatric neurology. With increasing research in this field and greater publications coming out showing the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy, a quantum shift is happening in our approach to these disorders . We have shifted from hopelessness to hope and from lack of options to the availability of multiple options in all aspects of their care. We can safely say now that "Stem cell therapy is an idea whose time has come"
