Abstract

Pediatric stroke presents unique challenges, and optimizing treatment strategies is essential for improving outcomes in this vulnerable population. This review aims to provide an overview of new, innovative, and potential treatments for pediatric stroke, with a primary objective to stimulate further research in this field. Our review highlights several promising approaches in the realm of pediatric stroke management, including but not limited to stem cell therapy and robotic rehabilitation. These innovative interventions offer new avenues for enhancing functional recovery, reducing long-term disability, and tailoring treatments to individual patient needs. The findings of this review underscore the importance of ongoing research and development of innovative treatments in pediatric stroke. These advancements hold significant clinical relevance, offering the potential to improve the lives of children affected by stroke by enhancing the precision, efficacy, and accessibility of therapeutic interventions. Embracing these innovations is essential in our pursuit of better outcomes and a brighter future for pediatric stroke care.
