In spite of Freud’s observation, for many decades the belief that birth complications caused most cases of cerebral palsy was widespread among physicians, families, and even medical researchers. In the 1980s, however, scientists funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) analyzed extensive data from more than 35,000 newborns and their mothers, and discovered that complications during birth and labor accounted for only a fraction of the infants born with cerebral palsy — probably less than 10 percent. In most cases, they could find no single, obvious cause.

This finding challenged the accepted medical theory about the cause of cerebral palsy. It also stimulated researchers to search for other factors before, during, and after birth that were associated with the disorder.
