Brief Summary  

Although  previously many research works had been done on cerebral palsy with various Ayurvedic drugs.But there is no evidence based research in children which could justify pre and post MRI Brain changes caused by the ayurvedic intervention.Many parents are confused while providing  treatment for their CP child.Still ayurvedic management in the CP is masked by the modern and the people are not much awared of the miracular result in the treatment of CP patients by ayurveda.Physiotherapy and other occupational therapy are mainly provided as a allopathic treatment protocol but considerable changes in the gross motor and fine motor milestones are not noticed.Still there is no any comparative study regarding the ayurvedic and the allopathic intervention in CP patients .Even no standard ayurvedic treatment protocol have been set till date in patients of cp.This study may help to set a definite treatment protocol if got desired changes in radiological finding.
