Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Tiaochang Zhishen acupuncture in assisting the treatment for autism.Methods A total of 91 children with autism admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital from February 2020 to September 2022 were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method. The 45 cases in the conventional group were given integrated visual and auditory training, and the 46 cases in the combined group were given Tiaochang Zhishen acupuncture on the basis of the treatment of conventional group. After 3 months, autism, behavioral state, social communication ability, neurodevelopment and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results After 3 months of treatment, there were statistical differences in the improvement of autistic children concerning degree of autism and behavioral state, social communication ability and neurodevelopment (P<0.05). Tiaochang Zhishen acupuncture combined with integrated visual and auditory training is better than pure integrated visual and auditory training. There was no difference in adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Tiaochang Zhishen acupuncture is good in assisting the treatment for autism. It can effectively regulate the level of biochemical indicators in children, promote neurological development, improve the degree of autism and behavioral status, and enhance the ability of social communication, but will not increase the occurrence of adverse reactions, showing high safety.
