To observe the effect of warming moxibustion on Shenque acupoint (RN8) for the treatment of acute diarrhea in children with infantile cerebral palsy (ICP).
Clinical observation was performed on 60 ICP children suffering from acute diarrhea, who were randomly assigned to two groups equally. The Mox group was treated with warming moxibustion on Shenque acupoint (RN8) and the control group treated with Smecta. The efficacy was evaluated by markedly effective rate and total effective rate after a 6-day treatment, diarrhea arresting time as well as stool examination normalization rate and rotavirus negative reversion rate after a 3-day treatment.
The total effective rate in the two groups was insignificantly different (P>0.05), but the markedly effective rate was significantly higher in the Mox group than in the control group (P<0.01); a significant difference was also seen between groups in terms of diarrhea arresting time, stool examination normalization rate and rotavirus negative reversion rate (all P<0.05).
Warming moxibustion on Shenque acupoint is an effective treatment for acute diarrhea in ICP children, with advantages of simple manipulation and rapid effect initiation.
观察神阙穴（RN8）温灸治疗小儿脑瘫（ICP）合并急性腹泻的疗效。
对 60 例 ICP 合并急性腹泻患儿进行临床观察，随机分为两组，每组 30 例。观察组采用神阙穴温灸治疗，对照组采用思密达治疗。观察两组患儿治疗 6 天后的显效率和总有效率，治疗 3 天后的止泻时间及粪便检查正常化率和轮状病毒转阴率。
两组总有效率比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05），但观察组显效率明显高于对照组（P＜0.01）；观察组止泻时间、粪便检查正常化率和轮状病毒转阴率均优于对照组，差异均有统计学意义（均 P＜0.05）。
神阙穴温灸治疗小儿脑瘫合并急性腹泻疗效确切，操作简便，起效迅速。
