Study protocol. A total of 60 patients with cerebral palsy with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels III-V were enrolled in this study. For the transplantation group, a total of 30 cerebral palsy patients received the autologous NSC-like cell transplantation and rehabilitation treatments whereas 30 patients in the control group only received rehabilitation treatment. The study protocol is shown. Motor ability was assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure questionnaire-88. Language ability was measured using the Gesell questionnaire. All of the assessments were conducted by a specifically assigned person, and the assessment results were recorded in the case report. A safety evaluation was performed during the 6-month follow-up to detect instances of death, any serious clinical events, abnormal electroencephalogram results, and neuroimaging complications.
