Abstract:Objective To explore the compensatory effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on brain function in the rehabilitation of cerebral palsy. Methods 100 cases of children with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into treatment group (50 cases) and control group (50 cases). The treatment group was treated with Tongdu Bushen group: 13 needles at Du meridian point combined with Yongquan, Yanglingquan, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao. And Xingshen scalp needle (Shenting through 100 meetings, 100 meetings through Naohu and Sishencong). Cooperate with rehabilitation training. The control group only with 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 of the treatment group was 84%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (52%). 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). Conclusion Acupuncture and moxibustion can promote the compensatory effect of brain function.
