PG - 662-6 LID - 10.13702/j.1000-0607.190461 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture and rehabilitation training on balance dysfunction in children with spasmodic hemiplegia so as to provide the reference to the optimization of treatment scheme. METHODS: A total of 60 children with spastic hemiplegia were divided into a routine group and a scalp acupuncture group, 30 cases in each one according to random number table. In the routine group, the rehabilitation training was provided, including exercise training, balance training, spasmotherapy apparatus, electromyography biofeedback apparatus and orthoses. In the scalp acupuncture group, on the base of the treatment as the routine group, scalp acupuncture was supplemented at motor area, foot motor sensory area, equilibrium area and parietal temporal anterior oblique line. Separately, before the treatment, after 3 months treatment and after 6 months treatment, the dimension D and E of the gross motor function measure-88 (GMFM-88) and Berg balance scale (BBS) were adopted to evaluate balance related motor functions and equilibrium function. The differences in the above 3 indicators at different time stages were compared in children between the two groups. RESULTS: Compared with the score before the treatment, BBS score was obviously increased after 3 and 6 months treatment in the patients of the two groups respectively (P<0.05). The score in the dimension D and E after 6-month treatment was increased significantly as compared with the score before treatment and after 3-month treatment in the same group respectively (P<0.05). Compared with the routine group, the score of dimension D and E of GMFM-88 as well as BBS score were all increased obviously in the scalp acupuncture group after 3 and 6 months treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: On the base of routine rehabilitation training, scalp acupuncture can improve balance function of children with spastic hemiplegia better.
