There are approximately 52,000 low birth weight babies born each year. Low birth weight babies are 100 times more likely to develop cp due to brain hemorrhages . Research has been conducted at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders presenting that mothers treated with Magnesium Sulfate before given birth had a decrease of brain bleeds in there infants. Suggesting a decrease in the development of cp in the infant. Studies have shown in animals when the drug Magnesium sulfate was administered after trauma to the brain it has reduced the severity of brain damage. This study is quite hopeful. However, Scientists report more research is underway and needed before a definite relationship is found between the drug and prevention of cp.
