Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of vestibular function training assisted by conventional rehabilitation training in the treatment of viral encephalitis complicated with chronic consciousness disorders in children.Methods A total of 98 children with viral encephalitis complicated with chronic consciousness disorder who were admitted from January 2020 to December 2024 were selected and divided into the vestibular training group(n=49)and the conventional training group(n=49)by random number table method.They were given vestibular function training combined with conventional rehabilitation training and conventional rehabilitation training respectively for a total of 4 weeks of treatment.The clinical symptoms[Revised Coma Recovery Scale(CRS-R),Full Outline of Unresponsiveness(FOUR)Scale score],the time to regain consciousness,parent satisfaction,and treatment safety of the two groups were compared,and the degree of cerebral function impairment before and after treatment was also compared.Results After treatment,the CRS-R scores and FOUR scale scores of both groups increased,which were higher in the vestibular training group than in the conventional training group(P<0.05,P<0.01).The time to regain consciousness in the vestibular training group was shorter than that in the conventional training group(P<0.01).After treatment,the degree of cerebral function impairment in the vestibular training group was lower than that in the conventional training group(P<0.01).The scores of therapeutic effect,treatment process,professionalism of medical staff,service attitude and total score of parent satisfaction in the vestibular training group were all higher than those in the conventional training group(P<0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups during the treatment period(P>0.05).Conclusion Vestibular function training assisted by conventional rehabilitation training can improve the clinical symptoms and cerebral function in children with viral encephalitis complicated with chronic consciousness disorders,enhance parent satisfaction,and has high safety profile.
