Summary: UDAAN, a premier disability management institution of Delhi, INDIA announces the availability of  Multimode Early Medical Intervention Therapy of Cerebral Palsy. We make available at subsidized rate, sequential therapy with one-to-one Standard therapy (OT/PT, Sensory Integration, Speech, Special Education), combined with Stem Cell Therapy and /or initial 40 sessions of 1.5 ATA Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or 1.3 ATA Hyperbaric Air Therapy (more suitable for Autism, epilepsy, Cognitive impairment greater than Motor). Botox / Phenol Nerve Block injection therapy is given rarely if unavoidable; we prefer tendon lengthening surgery, as it costs only a fraction more but the effects are permanent, in contrast to only a few months of relief with Botox/Phenol, in most cases. We seek collaboration with Satellite Centers to carry on the same type and standard Standard Therapy after our preliminary Therapy. Last updated 09 May 2011

You must have wondered, that if the world was making so much progress in science, why wasn't something more being done to help improve the quality of life of a person with cerebral palsy. 

Our hypothesis: CP of ischemic origin may still have a penumbra of injured tissues in brain till the age of about 4-5 years before it undergoes Leukodystrophy and becomes permanently damaged. If we give all the above multimode therapies before 4 years of age in CP children where SPECT scans show a penumbra, we may be able to reverse much of the damage and give a much better quality of life in future than is possible with any one therapeutic mode given alone.

NEW: Stem Cell Therapy. Click here for details.

WHAT IS MULTIMODE THERAPY

THIS IS NOT A CLINICAL TRIAL AND HAS NO AIM TO BE ONE.

We guarantee nothing except our sincere help and organizational skills in the best interests of a special need child.

We offer some of the newer modes of therapy at subsidized cost for those parents/legal guardians, who, knowing fully well that these are still  experimental therapies,  give informed written voluntary consent to avail of these therapies, at their own risk, for helping their children / wards under our guidance and help.

FSMHP is running an OPD section at the C/27-28 Dayanand Colony, Lajpatnagar - 4, New Delhi 110024 (UDAAN premises) from 9 AM to 5 PM daily on week days. New disabled children are managed there.

Our OPD provides the following as a part of Multimode Therapy of CP

· Multiple Specialist assessment

· Subsidized SPECT Scan of brain to assess degree of brain damage

· Subsidized Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or Mild Hyperbaric Air Therapy: 40 sessions spread over 2 months

· Unmanipulated Autologous Bone marrow derived Mononuclear Stem Cell Therapy, Intrathecally, as a Regenerative Therapy for CP and ASD

· Specialized Standard Therapy of CP/MR (Special Education, Speech Therapy and Target oriented Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration Therapy)

· Tendon / contracture correction surgery

Registration is on. Detailed assessment requires about 5 working days. Outstation parents should come by prior appointment with Dr. Anand K Arya, UDAAN-INDIRA Center-In-Charge during office hours on phone +91-11-41621137. If not available, then contact:   Mobile: 9811157839. They should be prepared to stay at Delhi for a week. We do not have hostel / guest house facilities. But, we can arrange simple type accommodation in a Mandir Guest House for Rs.450/- per day (no attached bath), or furnished  A/C Guest House rooms with all modern fittings, TV, etc, and attached modern style bath for Rs.1500/- per day (Subject to change). We need at least one week prior notice to try to arrange for their booking.

We started the world's first Multimode Therapy for CP and the results show an a satisfactory degree of success, suggesting that we may be on the right track, and should do more work in this area to establish the protocols more scientifically with a lot more data. 

• It was earlier thought that if infants in the womb or during labor or soon birth suffer brain damage, it was a permanent damage that the child has to bear life long. But, latest SPECT scans have shown that in the brain of children born with cerebral palsy of ischemic cause, there may or may not be a relatively small zone of central necrosis (dead brain tissue), surrounded by a large Penumbra of half dead but revivable, electrically dead tissue, which, on clinical grounds, gives an identical symptom complex as the necrotic tissue. That is why, even today, standard Text Books of Medicine define cerebral Palsy as a Non-Progressive Permanent Brain damage. This appears to be questionable in today's context.
• We found that there are a number of medical intervention therapies available in the world as well as in India, that if given in sequence to very small children with cerebral palsy, could recover a lot of lost grounds.
• Recent studies show that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can enhance the oxygen carrying capacity of plasma and tissue fluid from 0.3 ml/100 ml to 4 ml or more/100 ml, an increase of more than 10 fold. This increased tissue oxygenation has been shown to revive the electrically dead but physiologically half dead Penumbra zone, to produce long lasting neurological recovery in the CP child. In India, this facility in the civilian sector is available at tertiary care Hospital in New Delhi.
