Effect of Acupuncture on Motor Function of Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture on motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods 66 chil-dren with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into control group (n=33) and observation group (n=33). They were evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) before and after treatment. Results The scores of GMFM improved significantly in both groups af-ter treatment (P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture com-bined with rehabilitation training can further improve the motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
