To explore an effective therapy for children of early cerebral palsy.
One hundred and twenty cases were randomly divided into an acupoint injection group and a medication group, 60 cases in each group. The acupoint injection group was treated with scalp point injection of 0.5-1 mL brain protein hydrolysate into each point, Baihui (GV 20), Fengchi (GB 20) and motor area etc. were selected; the medication group was treated with 10 mL brain protein hydrolysate by intravenous drip. The therapeutic effects in the two groups were observed, and the changes of cerebral blood flow were compared before and after treatment.
The total effective rate of 91.4% in the acupoint injection group was superior to that of 73.7% in the medication group (P<0.05), the acupoint injection group could significantly improve the systolic peak velocity (Vs), end diastolic velocity (Ved) and mean velocity (Vm) of middle cerebral artery (MCA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and decrease the vascular resistance index (RI) (all P<0.05), and the improvement degree was superior to the medication group (all P<0.05).
Scalp point injection therapy can significantly improve the cerebral microcirculation of patients, and has a good therapeutic effect for early cerebral palsy.
探讨小儿早期脑瘫的有效治疗方法。
将120例患儿随机分为穴位注射组和药物组,每组60例。穴位注射组采用头部穴位注射,每穴注射0.5 - 1 mL脑蛋白水解物,选取百会(GV 20)、风池(GB 20)及运动区等穴位;药物组采用10 mL脑蛋白水解物静脉滴注。观察两组治疗效果,并比较治疗前后脑血流变化。
穴位注射组总有效率为91.4%,优于药物组的73.7%(P<0.05);穴位注射组能显著提高大脑中动脉(MCA)和大脑前动脉(ACA)的收缩期峰值流速(Vs)、舒张末期流速(Ved)及平均流速(Vm),降低血管阻力指数(RI)(均P<0.05),且改善程度优于药物组(均P<0.05)。
头部穴位注射疗法能显著改善患儿脑微循环,对小儿早期脑瘫有良好治疗效果。
