The clinical rehabilitation efficacy and the recovery of head CT and SPECT lesions in the two groups were evaluated. Results: The total effective rate of the treatment group was 84%, which was significantly higher than 52% of the control group. After treatment, the developmental quotient (DQ) in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). The improvement rate of brain dysplasia and brain atrophy on head CT and the recovery rate of brain neuronal metabolic function on head SPECT were higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.01).
