Cerebral Palsy Epidemiology Forecast Report Coverage

Expert Market Research's “Cerebral Palsy Epidemiology Forecast Report 2035’’ offers comprehensive information on the prevalence and demographics of cerebral palsy. It projects the future incidence and prevalence rates of cerebral palsy across various populations. The study covers age, gender, and type as major determinants of the cerebral palsy-affected population. The report highlights patterns in the prevalence of cerebral palsy over time and projects future trends based on multiple variables.

Cerebral Palsy: Disease Overview

Cerebral palsy comprises a group of neurological disorders that occur in infancy or early childhood. This congenital disorder is caused by abnormal brain development, often before birth, and affects movement, posture, or muscle tone. Cerebral palsy ranks as the most common motor disability in children, with the symptoms varying from person to person. Spastic, dyskinetic, ataxic, hypotonic, and mixed are the four main types of cerebral palsy, with spastic cerebral palsy occurring in 80% of the cases.

Cerebral Palsy: Treatment Overview

Although there is no cure for cerebral palsy, a combination of therapies, medications, surgeries, and assistive devices can help the affected individuals live with greater independence and manage their physical and neurological symptoms. Physical therapy including muscle-strengthening exercises, balance training, and stretching is widely used for improving muscle strength in patients. Further, antispasmodic drugs and pain relief medications are also prescribed to address various symptoms.

Epidemiology

The cerebral palsy epidemiology section offers information on the patient pool from history to the present as well as the projected trend for each of the 8 major markets. Expert Market Research provides both current and predicted trends for cerebral palsy by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for cerebral palsy and its trends. The data is broken down into specific categories, such as total prevalent cases in males and females, and total diagnosed cases across different age groups and patient pools.

• According to the systematic analysis published by McIntyre, Sarah et al. (2022), the overall birth prevalence of pre/perinatal cerebral palsy is 1.6 per 1000 live births in high income countries. In low- and middle-income countries, the birth prevalence of cerebral palsy is higher compared to high-income countries and is estimated to reach as high as 3.4 per 1000 live births.
• A BMJ (2017) article reports that roughly 15-20% of physically disabled children are impacted by cerebral palsy. Further, the Global report on children with developmental disabilities by the World Health Organization and UNICEF (2023) states that over one-third of children living with intellectual disability suffer from one or more co-occurring conditions including cerebral palsy.
• Various studies have indicated that cerebral palsy affects 2.3 to 3.6 per 1000 children in the United States.
• Cerebral palsy is reported to affect nearly twice as many men as women, according to Park, M.S. (2024). This difference in prevalence can be a result of the higher rate of low birth weight and preterm births in males as compared to females.

Country-wise Cerebral Palsy Epidemiology

The Cerebral Palsy epidemiology data and findings for the United States, EU-4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France), the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section. rates of premature births, quality of maternal and neonatal care, and access to healthcare services.

The epidemiology of cerebral palsy varies between countries owing to factors such as rates of premature births, quality of maternal and neonatal care, and access to healthcare services. It is reported that countries with high-quality medical technologies have lower rates of cerebral palsy since timely interventions can prevent complications that lead to brain injury. In India, around 3.8% of the population is estimated to have some form of disability and the incidence of cerebral palsy is about 3/1000 live births.
