Clinical study on acupuncture and moxibustion in adjuvant treatment of children with cerebral palsy complicated with dysarthria

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on children with cerebral palsy complicated with dysarthria. #br# Methods: Totally 60 cases of cerebral palsy complicated with dysarthria were selected, who were treated in our hospital from Jan. 2018 to Apr. 2019, and they were randomly divided into two groups: the observation group(30 cases) and control group(30 cases). The control group was given conventional language training, and the observation group received acupuncture and moxibustion in addition to the conventional language training. After the course of treatment, the differences in articulation scores and the improvement in salivation were analyzed.#br# Results: There was no statistical difference in all the items evaluated in articulation between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the scores of all items increased, except jaw position and soft palate movement, compared with those before treatment(P<0.05). The scores in reflex, lip movement and speech comprehension were higher in the observation group were higher than those in control group, and there was statistical difference(P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate concerning the treatment for salivation in observation group was 76.7%（23/30）,higher than that in control group（50.0%,15/30）（P<0.05）.#br# Conclusion: Acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the articulation function of children with cerebral palsy and dysarthria and improve salivation, which is worth clinical promoting.

Abstract: Objective: To explore the clinical effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on children with cerebral palsy complicated with dysarthria. 
Methods: Totally 60 cases of cerebral palsy complicated with dysarthria were selected, who were treated in our hospital from Jan. 2018 to Apr. 2019, and they were randomly divided into two groups: the observation group(30 cases) and control group(30 cases). The control group was given conventional language training, and the observation group received acupuncture and moxibustion in addition to the conventional language training. After the course of treatment, the differences in articulation scores and the improvement in salivation were analyzed.
Results: There was no statistical difference in all the items evaluated in articulation between the two groups before treatment. After treatment, the scores of all items increased, except jaw position and soft palate movement, compared with those before treatment(P<0.05). The scores in reflex, lip movement and speech comprehension were higher in the observation group were higher than those in control group, and there was statistical difference(P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate concerning the treatment for salivation in observation group was 76.7%（23/30）,higher than that in control group（50.0%,15/30）（P<0.05）.
Conclusion: Acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the articulation function of children with cerebral palsy and dysarthria and improve salivation, which is worth clinical promoting.
