Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a multifactorial, complex and chronic pathology that occurs during childhood and is prolonged throughout life, based on the impairment of psychomotor and sensorineural development, leading to secondary limitations that affect the quality of life of patients. Objectives. Evaluate the impact of sensorineural stimulation on the quality of life of patients with cerebral palsy. Method. Documentary research referring to a clinical case study of a qualitative and retrospective nature, between January 2016 and December 2020. Results. The therapeutic support offered must include family support together with a multidisciplinary team, which will act in early mobilization, motor and postural control, linguistic, sensorial and social encouragement. Thus, sensorineural stimulation techniques have been studied and used in order to assess the response of patients and their promising prospects. Conclusions. Sensorineural stimulation techniques that act on the five senses, in addition to activities that improve motor function, do not yet have specific assessment protocols for patients with CP. However, it is clear that the changes to be achieved with these methodologies occur gradually, with a great impact on the quality of life of these individuals, especially with the support and integrated care of the family with a multidisciplinary team.
