Read on as we share some ways in which therapy can be helpful.

Get a better idea as we discuss and outline signs and reasons why seeking therapy might be beneficial.

Postnatal gene therapy may be able to prevent or repair many of the harmful effects of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, a rare genetic condition, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. In an animal model of Pitt-Hopkins syndrome, researchers discovered that restoring lost gene activity eliminates numerous clinical in...

Stem cell therapy, earlier proved effective for animals, have now been used to treat newborns with brain damage. The researchers, including a team from University Medical Center Utrecht, administered stem cells to 10 newborns via nose droplets, a procedure that took only several minutes.

Pigs might not fly, but LiLou the therapy pig wants to make air travel less stressful. The five-year-old Juliana pig and her owner, Tatyana Danilova, are part of San Francisco International Airport's "Wag Brigade" - a program that brings therapy animals to the airport to cheer passengers up and help ease travel anxieties.
