Abstract
The use of plasma growth factors is opening a new field of clinical application in medicine, developing a new discipline called regenerative medicine. In many fields such as trauma -tology, dental implantology or anesthesia, the use of this biotechnology is improving the quality of life of patients, through techniques that are not invasive but with extraordinary functional results. A discipline where this type of procedure opens an interesting field of application is undoubtedly neurology, especially those processes of ischemic or hypo-anoxic origin such as cerebral palsy, where recent studies point to an improvement of cognitive abilities in patients, together with specific neurorehabilitation therapies.
