Abstract:Objective To analyze the effect of Yizhi Kaiqiao acupuncture combined with acupoint injection on speech disorder, cerebral blood flow perfusion, and cerebral glucose metabolism in children with cerebral palsy.Methods From January 2015 to December 2018, 100 children with cerebral palsy in our hospital were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The control group was treated with conventional speech therapy, while the observation group was treated with Yizhi Kaiqiao acupuncture combined with acupoint injection. After treatment, the clinical efficacy of the patients was evaluated, and Gesell scale was used before and after treatment. Language impairment was assessed; cerebral blood flow perfusion and improvement of cerebral glucose metabolism were assessed before and after treatment.Results The effective rate was higher in the observation group (P < 0.05). The improvement of cerebral perfusion in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The improvement of glucose metabolism in frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions After treatment, Yizhi Kaiqiao acupuncture combined with acupoint injection can significantly improve the clinical efficacy, cerebral blood flow perfusion, and cerebral glucose metabolism in children with cerebral palsy.
