Objective: To assess the efficacy of scalp acupuncture therapy for autism of children.Methods: We selected 70 cases of autism children followed the random number method to divide the cases into scalp acupuncture therapy group(30 cases) and structured control group(40 cases).The treated group was treated with activating brain and opening orifices scalp acupuncture therapy, Nordoff-Robbins therapy and structured teaching, and the control group was treated with Nordoff-Robbins therapy.We used the Clancy Autism Behavior Scale, Childhood Autism Behavior Scale, Autism Behavior Checklist, and Gesell Development Scale to assess the result before and after treatment, and adopted the blind method to evaluate the results.Results: At the same treatment time, the treatment group was better than the control group.In the treatment group, the older group and the younger group had significant differences in ABC score, CARS score and social adjustment score.The results cued that the improvements of autism exist after the treatment of activating brain and opening orifices scalp acupuncture therapy, no matter of age.Compared before and after treatment in the therapy group, there was significant difference in language score.The result cued that activating brain and opening orifices scalp acupuncture therapy can significantly improve language function in children.Conclusion: Activating brain and opening orifices scalp acupuncture therapy can significantly improve the therapeutic effect and raise the IQ level and language ability in children with autism.
