头穴丛刺结合康复训练对脑瘫患儿平衡功能的影响

目的:观察头穴丛刺结合康复训练对脑瘫患儿平衡功能的疗效.方法:将60例脑瘫患儿随机分为针康组和康复组,每组30例.康复组予一般康复疗法和平衡训练法,针康组在康复训练基础上配合头穴丛刺治疗,穴取顶区和枕下区.采用Berg平衡功能量表评定患儿的平衡功能,采用日常生活能力评定量表(ADL)评定患儿日常生活活动能力.结果:两组治疗后Berg平衡评分、ADL评分均有明显改善(均P＜0.05)；针康组治疗后Berg平衡评分、ADL评分较康复组改善更明显(均P＜0.05).结论:头穴丛刺结合康复训练在改善脑瘫患儿平衡功能和日常生活能力方面优于单纯的康复训练.

Influence of cluster needling at scalp acupoints combined with rehabilitation training on balance functions of children with cerebral palsy

ObjectiveTo observe therapeutic effects of scalp acupuncture at close acupoints combined with rehabilitation training on balance functions of children with cerebral palsy (CP).MethodsSixty children with CP were randomly divided into a scalp acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group (group SA+RT) and a rehabilitation training group (group RT) with 30 cases in each group. Conventional rehabilitation therapy and balance training were applied in group RT, and scalp acupuncture at close acupoints in the parietal region and sub-occipital region was added besides rehabilitation training in group SA+RT. Balance functions were evaluated by using Berg rating scale, and abilities of daily living were estimated by using rating scale for activities of daily living (ADL).ResultsAfter treatment, both Berg scores for balance and ADL scores were significantly improved in both groups (all P<0.05), and the improvement in group SA+RT was more obvious than that in group RT (both P<0.05).ConclusionCombination of scalp acupuncture at close acupoints with rehabilitation training is superior to simple rehabilitation training in improving balance functions and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy.
