To observe the efficacy of encephalopathy therapeutic tongue acupoint apparatus (ETTAA) in the treatment of autism.
Eighty-four children of autism were randomly divided into a tongue acupuncture group (group A) and a conventional training group (group B), 42 cases in each group. The behavior training and sensory integration training were carried out in group B and the ETTAA was added in group A. The apparatus was switched on for 20 min every time and 3 times a day. Treatment of two months were carried out in both groups. The score of childhood autism rating scale (CARS) and clinical efficacy in both groups were observed before and after treatment.
After treatment, the CARS in both groups were significantly reduced (42.39 +/- 6.86 vs 32.15 +/- 5.12, P < 0.001; 44.58 +/- 6.76 vs 39.72 +/- 7.11, P < 0.05), which was more significant in group A (P < 0.01). The totally effective rate in group A [90.5% (38/42)] was superior to that in group B [66.7% (28/42), P < 0.01].
The clinical efficacy in tongue acupuncture group is apparently superior to that in conventional training group, ETTAA combined with conventional training have a better curative effect in the treatment of autism.
观察脑病治疗舌穴治疗仪(ETTAA)治疗孤独症的疗效。
将84例孤独症患儿随机分为舌针组(A组)和传统训练组(B组),每组42例。B组进行行为训练和感觉统合训练,A组在B组基础上加用ETTAA。每次开机20分钟,每天3次。两组均治疗2个月。观察两组治疗前后儿童孤独症评定量表(CARS)评分及临床疗效。
治疗后,两组CARS评分均显著降低(42.39±6.86 vs 32.15±5.12,P<0.001;44.58±6.76 vs 39.72±7.11,P<0.05),A组更显著(P<0.01)。A组总有效率[90.5%(38/42)]优于B组[66.7%(28/42),P<0.01]。
舌针组临床疗效明显优于传统训练组,ETTAA联合传统训练治疗孤独症疗效更佳。
