Clinical research summary on the treatment of cerebral palsy with scalp acupuncture in different schools / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

At present, many scalp acupuncture schools for cerebral palsy include Jiao's scalp acupuncture, Jin's scalp acupuncture, international standard scalp acupuncture and Zhu's scalp acupuncture. Each school of scalp acupuncture has its own strengths. And there are subtle differences in the theoretical bases and acupoint selection standards, but they also have similarities. Some acupoints selected by various schools in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy are mostly adjacent or identical in the corresponding position of the cerebral cortex, and the curative effect is obvious in improving the spasm degree, motor function and language of children with cerebral palsy. Single scalp acupuncture or scalp acupuncture combined with other therapies can achieve better results. In the future, it is necessary to standardize the clinical treatment plan, compare the efficacy of different schools, improve the follow-up and tracking, and deepen the basic research, so as to promote the application and promotion of scalp acupuncture in clinical treatment of cerebral palsy.
