Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ZHU Lian's acupuncture activating method with type 1 manipulations in treating hypotonic cerebral palsy.Method Sixty patients with hypotonic cerebral palsy, aged 9-59 months, were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by ZHU Lian's acupuncture activating method with type 1 manipulations, while the control group was intervened by acupoint injection of vitamin B1 and B12. The two groups were treated once a day, 5 sessions as a treatment course. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) was evaluated before the treatment and after 10 treatment courses.Result The GMFM-88 score was significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). After the intervention, the GMFM-88 score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion ZHU Lian's acupuncture activating method is an effective approach in treating hypotonic cerebral palsy.
