AB  - PURPOSE: To use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western approaches to 
      improve gross motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in children 
      with spastic cerebral palsy. METHODS: Children were randomly divided into a 
      treatment group, which received scalp acupuncture combined with exercise therapy 
      and conventional rehabilitation training, and a control group, which received 
      conventional rehabilitation training alone. Study subjects' gross motor function 
      (gross motor function measure-88 [GMFM-88]) and ADL were evaluated before and 
      after therapy. RESULTS: GMFM-88 and ADL scores were significantly improved in 
      both groups after therapy, but the within group differences in post- and 
      pre-therapy GMFM-88 and ADL scores were significantly higher in the treatment 
      group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Scalp acupuncture combined with 
      exercise therapy and conventional rehabilitation training can significantly 
      improve gross motor function and the ability to perform ADLs in children with 
      spastic cerebral palsy compared to conventional rehabilitation training alone.
