Abstract:Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on brain function compensation in the rehabilitation of patients with cerebral palsy. Methods 100 patients with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 50 cases in each group. The treatment group received acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training, while the control group only received rehabilitation training. The clinical rehabilitation efficacy and the recovery of head CT and SPECT lesions in the two groups were evaluated. Results The total effective rate was 84.0% in the treatment group versus 52.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). There were statistically significant post-treatment differences in developmental quotient, head CT recovery rate and head SPECT recovery rate between the treatment and control groups (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture has the compensatory effect of promoting brain function and is an effective method for the treatment of patients with cerebral palsy.
