Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the effect of carotid artery sympathetic net exfoliation combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy on athetosic type cerebral palsy (CP).Methods46 CP children (athetosic type) were divided into the treatment group (n=25) and control group (n=21). All cases of two groups were treated with carotid artery sympathetic net exfoliation as well as children of the treatment group were added with drug and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Therapeutic effect of two groups was compared.ResultsOne week after operation, the effect rate was 66.67% in control group and 64% in treatment group with no significant difference between two groups. 3 months after operation, the effect rate of the treatment group increased to 96.00%, but that of the control group was not changed, there was a significant difference between two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionCarotid artery sympathetic nerve net exfoliation can improve the symptoms of athetosic type CP children, if combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, the curative effect will be further improved.
