ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the effects of motor function of cerebral palsy children by the adjuvant therapy of acupuncture and its factors retrospectively.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five hundred and twenty cerebral palsy children in hospital (from January 2005 to December 2014) who meet the criteria were selected through Doctor Workstation of our hospital. The cases were divided into groups according to the type of cerebral palsy, gestational age, complication, treatment time and age. Based on the physical rehabilitation, all the patients were assisted by acupuncture. Scalp acupuncture was used at(seven-intelligent needles), motor area, foot-motor-sensory area, etc. Body acupuncture were mainly at the governor vessel andmeridians of hand and foot. Treatment was given once every other day for eight months. Effects were evaluated by gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) and gross motor function measure (GMFM).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>① GMFCSafter eight-month treatment, the total effective rate of children with spastic cerebral palsy was superior to those of mixed type and involuntary movement type[77.9% (300/385) vs 60.3% (38/63), 56.9% (41/72), both<0.01]. The total effective rates of the above three types with gestational age from 37 to 42 weeks were better than those of the corresponding types with gestational age (<0.01,<0.05). The efficacy of children with mental retardation and language disorderwas higher than that of epilepsy and hearing disorder (<0.01,<0.05). The total effective rates of patients in the three types with the age of 1-2 were better than those of the corresponding types with the age of 2-4 (all<0.05). ② GMFMafter three-month and eight-month treatment, the GMFM scores of the three types were increased in different degrees (all<0.01), and after eight-month treatment, the score of the spastic type was increased more obviously than those of the other two types (both<0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The motor function of cerebral palsy children can be improved assisted by acupuncture, and the effect may be related to treating time, cerebral palsy type, gestational age, complication and age.</p>
