For cases in the treatment group, points of connecting the Governor Vessels and tonifying the kidney were selected: 13 points of the Governor Vessel, Yongquan (Kid 1), Yanglingquan (GB 34), Zusanli (ST 36) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6), and points of refreshing the mind were also selected: puncturing Shenting (GV 24) toward Baihui (GV 20) and puncturing Baihui (GV 20) toward Naohu (GV 17) and Sishencong (Ex-HN 1). In addition, rehabilitation training was also combined. For cases in the control group, rehabilitation training alone was adopted. Then the clinical effect and improvement through head CT scanning and SPECT were observed. Result: The total effective rate of the treatment group was 84%, significantly higher than 52% of the control group. After treatment, the DQ in the treatment group was significantly higher than the control group (P〈0.01). Also, the improvement rate of brain maldevelopment and brain atrophy showed by CT scan and restoration rate of brain neuron metabolic function in the treatment group were higher than the control group (P〈0.01). Conclusion: Acupuncture can promote the compensation of brain function.展开更多
