Both groups were treated for 2 months. The severity of the children's convulsing symptoms and the clinical efficacy were assessed by the Yale Global Tie Severityb Scale (YGTSS).Results After 1 course of treatment, the total effective rate of the treatment group was 82.9% (29/35), while the control group was 57.1% (20/35), and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.276,P=0.023); after 2 courses of treatment, the total effective rate of the treatment group was 88.6% (31/35) and the control group was71.4% (25/35).The difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.346, P=0.019). After 1 course of treatment, YGTSS score was (14.6 ± 6.9vs. 17.3 ± 7.5,t=4.604), and after 2 course of treatment,YGTSS score was (8.0 ± 5.3vs. 10.3 ± 4.9,t=5.521) in the treatment group wwere significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Combination of acupuncture and medicine combined with auricular points can alleviate the clinical symptoms of children with MT and improve the clinical effect.
