The report offers a thorough epidemiological analysis and forecasts extending to 2034, segmented by total cerebral palsy prevalent cases, total diagnosed cases, and total type-specific cases within the 7MM. DelveInsight estimates approximately 2 million prevalent and 2 million diagnosed cases of cerebral palsy in these regions in 2023, with numbers anticipated to rise in the coming years.
The US accounts for the largest share of diagnosed cases, representing about 53% of total prevalent cases in the 7MM. Among the EU4 countries and the UK, the UK reported the highest number of cases, followed by Germany, while Italy recorded the lowest. It was also noted that spastic cerebral palsy is the most common form, affecting 70–80% of cases, followed by dyskinetic (15%) and ataxic (4%) types. These trends highlight the growing public health impact of cerebral palsy and the regional variations in disease burden.
The DelveInsight report also discusses current diagnosis and treatment strategies for cerebral palsy, which are multifaceted and reflect the complexity and variability of the condition. The diagnosis of cerebral palsy typically occurs within the first two years of life through developmental monitoring, imaging tests, and evaluations of motor skills and neurological function.
Treatment is highly individualized, focusing on improving motor function and quality of life. Common approaches include physical, occupational, and speech therapies to enhance mobility, daily functioning, and communication. Medications such as DYSPORT (Ipsen) and BOTOX (AbbVie), among others, are used for symptom management. In severe cases, surgical interventions may be performed to improve mobility or reduce muscle stiffness.
Despite significant advancements, existing treatment approaches face various challenges, including delayed diagnosis, a lack of evidence-based guidelines, and poorly managed transitions from pediatric to adult care. Addressing these challenges requires improved diagnostic tools, better access to multidisciplinary care, enhanced communication among stakeholders, and policies that ensure equitable healthcare services for cerebral palsy patients throughout their lifespan.

DelveInsight’s analysis indicates that the current developmental pipeline for cerebral palsy treatments is highly active, with several companies initiating clinical trials for new options. Notable pipeline candidates include MYOBLOC (Supernus Pharmaceuticals), currently undergoing Phase II/III clinical trials for symptoms related to cerebral palsy in both adults and pediatric populations, and UDI-001 (Rohto Pharmaceutical) that utilizes umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells aimed at treating cerebral palsy associated with periventricular leukomalacia, among others.
The cerebral palsy treatment landscape is witnessing significant advancements in medical technology, therapeutic interventions, diagnostic tools, and funding initiatives. Recent developments have shown promising results across various fronts, offering new hope to patients, health professionals, and researchers alike.
In January 2025, United Cerebral Palsy launched its 2025 “Change is Possible for CP” grant cycle to promote clinical and translational research. This program provides funding opportunities through multiple grant categories, assisting researchers and clinicians focusing on the early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy.
Advancements in artificial intelligence are transforming research on cerebral palsy, with numerous groundbreaking studies showcasing significant progress, particularly in early detection and neuroimaging analysis. A study conducted in February 2025 introduced an AI-powered pipeline that uses automated machine learning to assess the risk of cerebral palsy by analyzing infant movements in videos. This approach achieved an ROC-AUC score of 0.78 for predicting clinical scores at 3 to 4 months of age.
Another study published in March 2025 featured a deep learning system designed to automatically quantify lesion-free brain volumes from MRI scans in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. This system successfully correlated the preservation of the thalamus with motor and visual outcomes by accurately segmenting areas of damaged brain tissue.
