Effect of Electric Acupoint Stimulation Intervention on Motor Function and Intelligence Development of Infants with Brain Injury

Objective:To study the effect of electric acupoint stimulation intervention on motor function and intelligence development of infants with brain injury.Methods:Ninety-four infants with brain injuries were divided into two groups:electric stimulation intervention group(study group,64 cases)and non electric stimulation intervention group(control group,30 cases).Nervous system,intelligence development and mortor function were regularly studied by using the Developmental Diagnostic Scale of Children aged 0-6 years and Fine Motor Function Measure(FMFM).Usual physical examination and education were applied in the two groups.Results:Physical development was better and effective rate higher in study group than in control group,but there was no significant difference(P0.05);Development quotient(DQ)and FMFM scores in study group were higher than in control group(P0.05).Conclusion:The electric acupoint stimulation intervention could improve the prognosis of infants with brain injury,which was related with the triggering of the protective mechanism of the central nervous system.
