目的 初步探究针刺数量对小儿脑瘫肌张力及粗大运动功能的影响。方法 选取我院2017年1月—2019年11月接收的脑瘫患儿78例,以随机数表法分组,常规针刺组39例,采用一般治疗加常规针刺穴位;增穴针刺组39例,在常规针刺组治疗基础上增加13个穴位治疗。对比2组患儿三个疗程后的肌张力及粗大运动功能。结果 治疗三个疗程后,常规针刺组肌张力评分稍低于增穴针刺组,粗大运动功能量表(GMFM-88)评分稍低于增穴针刺组,但差异没有统计学意义(P＞0.05)。结论 针刺疗法可以有效辅助脑瘫患儿治疗,但是增多穴位不一定能明显改善患儿肌张力和粗大运动功能。

Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture quantity on muscle tension and gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy. Methods From January 2017 to November 2019, 78 children with cerebral palsy who were treated in our hospital were collected. 78 children with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into two groups. The conventional acupuncture group (39 cases) were treated with general treatment and conventional acupuncture points. And the more-needle acupuncture group (39 cases) were treated with adding another 13 more acupuncture points. Muscle tension and gross motor function were compared between the two groups after three courses of treatment. Results After three courses of treatment, the muscle tension score of the conventional acupuncture group was slightly lower than that of the more-needle acupuncture group, and the gross motor function scale (GMFM-88) score was slightly lower than that of the more-needle acupuncture group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture therapy can effectively assist the treatment of children with cerebral palsy, but increasing acupoints may not improve the muscle tension and gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy.
