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). Course of treatment: needle 1 times every other day, 10 times of rest for 15-20 days, 30 times of acupuncture for a course of treatment, 1 course of treatment for children with mild cerebral palsy, 2-3 courses of treatment for children with severe cerebral palsy. Cooperate with rehabilitation training. The control group only with rehabilitation training. The clinical efficacy of the two groups and the recovery of head CT and SPECT lesions were observed. 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<0.010). 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. The recovery rate of brain dysplasia on head CT in the treatment group was 33.33 (13/39), and 2 cases of brain dysplasia on head CT in the control group returned to normal after treatment, and the recovery rate of CT was 4.65 (2/43). In the treatment group, 28 cases of cerebral SPECT had insufficient cerebral blood flow perfusion and reduced neuronal functional activity before treatment, and 27 cases returned to normal after treatment (96.43%). In the control group, 29 cases had insufficient cerebral blood flow and neuronal functional activity before treatment, and 6 cases (20.69%) returned to normal after treatment. SPECT...More
