Abstract:Objective:To observe the effect of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training on the scores of Gross Motor Function Measure- 88(GMFM- 88), Modified Ashworth Scale and comprehensive function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods:A total of 80 cases of children with spastic cerebral palsy in our hospital were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method,40 cases in each group. The control group was given rehabilitation training, and the observation group was additionally given scalp acupuncture based on the treatment of the control group. The curative effect, the results of color Doppler ultrasonography including middle cerebral artery(MCA),systolic peak velocity(Vs),mean velocity(Vm) and vascular resistance index(RI),the range of motion of lower limbs including adductor angles of the thigh in the hip joint, popliteal fossa angles in the knee joint and angles of foot dorsiflexion in the ankle joint,as well as the scores of Gross Motor Function Measure-88(GMFM-88),Modified Ashworth rating- Scale(MAS) and comprehensive function were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, Vs, Vm,the adductor angle of the thigh,as well as the popliteal fossa angle in the observation group were lager than those in the control group(P<0.05);there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of RI between the two groups(P> 0.05); the angle of foot dorsiflexion in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group(P<0.05). After treatment,the scores of GMFM-88 and comprehensive function in the observation group were both higher than those in the control group(P<0.05), and the score of MAS was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05). The effective rate of treatment was 92.50% in the observation group,higher than that of 72.50 in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:The therapy of scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training can increase the curative effect, improve the scores of GMFM- 88, MAS and comprehensive function in children with spastic cerebral palsy, as well as promote the recovery of motor function.
