Objective To investigate the clinic therapeutic effect of Intelligence-Promoting scalp Acupuncture on infantile autism. Methods Thirty-eight patients with infantile autism were treated with scalp acupuncture for 30 times. Electric stimulation was performed for 30 minutes during each session of acupuncture. Results After treatment, 14 cases got a marked effect, 16 cases got an effect and 8 cases got no effect. One to two years follow-up showed that of 30 patients who got a therapeutic effect, 14 had been recovering gradually, 9 of whom could go to school to study with classmates, 10 did not improve obviously, and 6 became worse. The short-term effective rate was 78.9%. The follow-up showed that the long-term effective rate was 36.8%. The CARS score had a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference （P〈0.01）. Of 16 sick children who had extensive severe EEG abnormities, 10 returned to normal after treatment. No adverse reaction took place during the treatment. Conclusion Scalp Acupuncture can obviously improve the symptoms of infantile autism such as extreme loneliness, lack of eye contact, repeated words （stereotyped and repetitive use of language）, forced consensus and indifference.
