No: Unfortunately, cerebral palsy (CP) cannot be cured. By definition, CP is a lesion of the brain that is permanent and stable. The damage cannot be undone. Many people with more mild CP can live pretty normal lives and some have very severe disabilities. Different therapies and medications can help with the symptoms.

Cerebral palsy: Cerebral palsy is caused by damage or death of part of the brain. There are some experimental protocols used on newborns at risk for cerebral palsy which are being tried to reduce the damage. Older children with cerebral palsy have a more permanent disability. Early childhood intervention to help with their disabilities will help.
