Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with acupuncture point injection on children with mental retardation at early stage. Methods 120 children with mental retardation were divided four groups: groups Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, 30 cases in each group including 10 mild, 10 moderate and 10 severe, respectively. Group Ⅰ received intelligence training by their parents. Group Ⅱ was treated by transcranial magnetic stimulation and intelligence training. Group Ⅲ was treated by acupuncture point injection of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside and intelligence training. Group Ⅳ was treated by transcranial magnetic stimulation, acupuncture point injection of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside and intelligence training. 3 months was a course. DQ of 4 groups was tested by Gesell Development Scale before and after the treatment. The effective rate and different intelligence levels of 4 groups were compared. Results DQ of mild vs. severe and moderate vs. severe improved significantly in group Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P<0.01). The DQ of moderate vs. severe improved very significantly in group Ⅳ (P<0.01). Conclusion Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with acupuncture point injection may facilitate to improve the intelligence level of children with mild and moderate mental retardation.
