Objective:To investigate the effects of clearing the Governor Vessel and refreshing the mind needling in neural development and remediation of children with cerebral palsy.Methods:200 cases of children with cerebral palsy were randomly divided into a treatment group (n =100) and a control group (n =100).The treatment group was given the combined therapy of acupuncture and rehabilitation training,and the chosen acupoints were 13 of the Governor Vessel points,Shenshu (BL 23),Taixi (KI 3),Yanglingquan (GB 34),Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6),and points of refreshing the mind were also selected,which included puncturing Shenting (GV 24) toward Qianding (GV 21),puncturing Qianding (GV 21) toward Baihui (GV 20),puncturing Baihui (GV 20) toward Naohu (GV 17) and Sishencong (Ex-HN 1).The control group was only treated with rehabilitation training.A contrastive analysis of the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training and pure rehabilitation training was made after a treatment course of 3 months.The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and Beijing Gesell Developmental Scale were adopted to assess the neural development and rehabilitation outcomes of the two groups.In addition,skull CT/MRI was adopted to evaluate the plerosis of injured cerebral nerve after treatment.Results:The total effective rate for the treatment group was 87％,significantly higher than the 55％ for the control group.The childrens development quotient (DQ) tested by Gesell Developmental Scale and scores tested by GMFM in the treatment group was of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).The improving and curing rates presented by skull CT/MRI in the significantly higher than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).the improving and curing rates presented by skull CT/MRI in the treatment group was higher than the control group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions:Clearing the Governor Vessel and refreshing the mind needling could accelerate the recovery of injured brain nerve and the reconstruction of brain function.The aeupuncture therapy could ameliorate both the motor development and cognitive development.On the other hand,the forward curative effect of acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training was significantly better than pure rehabilitation training.
