Spastic Cerebral Palsy Epidemiology Forecast 2025-2034

In children, cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent motor disability. According to recent global population-based studies, the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) ranges from 1 to almost 4 cases per 1,000 live births or children. Nearly 61% of all cerebral palsy patients have spastic cerebral palsy, which is still the most prevalent form of the condition.

Spastic Cerebral Palsy Disease Overview

Spastic cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that impairs movement and muscle coordination. It is brought on by brain damage that occurs prior to, during, or soon after birth. Exaggerated reflexes, difficulty with voluntary movements, and muscle stiffness (spasticity) are the characteristics of this type of cerebral palsy. Walking, posture, and fine motor skills can all be affected by the condition, which mainly affects the motor cortex and can affect one or more limbs. The severity varies; some people have minor mobility issues, while others have severe mobility impairments.

Spastic Cerebral Palsy: Treatment Overview

The goal of treatment for spastic cerebral palsy is to improve mobility and manage symptoms through a combination of therapies and medical interventions. Occupational and physical therapy improve everyday functioning, flexibility, and muscle control. To reduce spasticity, doctors may prescribe drugs like muscle relaxants (like baclofen or botulinum toxin). In extreme situations, orthopaedic surgery or selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) can help with posture and movement. Depending on the needs of everyone, assistive technology, orthotics, and speech therapy may also be included.

Epidemiology

The spastic 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. The publisher provides both current and predicted trends for spastic cerebral palsy by examining a wide range of studies. Additionally, the report covers the diagnosed patient pool for spastic cerebral palsy and their 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 Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF), spastic cerebral palsy (CP) accounts for 70-80% of all cases of CP, making it the most prevalent type. Extreme muscle tension brought on by this kind of CP can paralyze half of the body, all four limbs, or two limbs.
• An article addressed that 30% of spastic cerebral palsy cases are unilateral in nature while 69% cases of spastic cerebral palsy are bilateral in nature. The percentage of cases of spastic cerebral palsy that are unaccounted for is 0.7%.
• According to a study conducted in India, around 32.22% of the children affected by the condition were between the ages of 48 and 96 months, and 67.57% of the children were male. According to the classification, 77.34% of patients had a spastic form of cerebral palsy, with diplegic cerebral palsy being the most prevalent with around 42.83%.
• According to the Cerebral Palsy Research Network, it is estimated that 1 in 345 Americans suffer from cerebral palsy. Of the children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, the majority (82.9%) had spastic cerebral palsy.

Country-wise Spastic Cerebral Palsy Epidemiology

The spastic cerebral palsy epidemiology data and findings for the United States, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India are also provided in the epidemiology section.

The epidemiology of spastic cerebral palsy varies between countries, owing to the differences in factors such as high rates of preterm births, delayed access to neonatal care, poor maternal healthcare, and infections like meningitis, malaria, etc. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program, the first multi-state study examined the prevalence of cerebral palsy in children aged 8 in southeastern Wisconsin, northern Alabama, and metropolitan Atlanta. Analysis was done on 114,897 children's data. There were 3.6 cases of cerebral palsy for every 1,000 children. Accounting for 76.9% of all cases, spastic cerebral palsy was the most prevalent type.
