Improvement in gross motor function and muscle tone in children with cerebral palsy related to neonatal icterus: an open-label uncontrolled clinical trial

摘要

BackgroundAlthough stem cell transplantation has been successfully performed for cerebral palsy (CP) related to oxygen deprivation, clinical trials involving the use of stem cell transplantation for CP related to neonatal icterus have not been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of transplantation of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMC) for improving gross motor function and muscle tone in children with CP related to neonatal icterus.
