针刺与西药治疗小儿多动症对比观察

目的:观察比较针刺和西药治疗小儿多动症(MBD)的疗效差异,探寻临床治疗MBD的有效方法。方法:将68例患者随机分为针刺组和西药组,每组各34例。针刺组采用针刺大椎、神阙,西药组采用口服西药氟哌啶醇。疗程1个月,比较2组治疗后美国康奈尔儿童多动症诊断行为量表评分和总有效率。结果:针刺组量表评分、总有效率分别为10±0.37,97.1%;西药组分别为15±0.93,82.4%。2组比较,差异有非常显著性意义或极显著性意义(P<0.01,P<0.0005),针刺组优于西药组。随访2～10个月,针刺组效果仍能维持。结论:针刺大椎、神阙能更有效地治疗小儿多动症。

Comparative observation on acupuncture and western medicine for treatment of minimal brain dysfunction

OBJECTIVE: To compare the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and western medicine on minimal brain dysfunction (MBD) and to search for a clinically effective therapy for MBD. METHODS: Sixty-eight cases were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a western medicine group, 34 cases in each group. The acupuncture group were treated by acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14) and Shenque (CV 8), and the western medicine group by taking Haloperidol orally. One month constituted one course. After treatment, the total effective rate and scores of Connell's scale for diagnosis and behavior of MBD were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The total effective rate and the score after treatment were 97.1% and 10 +/- 0.37 in the acupuncture group and 82.4% and 15 +/- 0.93 in the western medicine group, with a very significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01, P < 0.000 5), the acupuncture group being better than the western medicine group. Follow-up survey for 2-10 months showed the effects of the acupuncture group still were kept. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14) and Shenque (CV 8) can effectively cure MBD.
