Cerebral Palsy
Supplements studied for cerebral palsy.
Overview
Magnesium sulfate given intravenously to women at risk of preterm delivery is the most studied intervention linked to cerebral palsy here (15 trials). It may reduce the chance that the baby develops cerebral palsy or motor difficulties, with reported risk reductions in many but not all studies.
In children with spastic cerebral palsy, one small kefir trial reported softer stools and less constipation versus baseline, but not versus yogurt. Melatonin lacks sufficient evidence. See the heatmap and evidence reviews below.
