Objectives: The standard treatment of infantile cerebral palsy contain following elements: medication, developmental behavior therapy, surgery, assistive technologies and some form of CAM. Acupuncture treatment is difficult to be carried out in children due to less tolerance of inserted needles. Therefore we were looking for atraumatic, not frequently disturbing methods for these patients. The aim of this prospective, assesor-blinded randomized control trial study was to investigate whether a special form of acupuncture, namely the embedding acupuncture, especially Yamamoto’s New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA), combined with some effective body acupoints is of value for children suffering from cerebral palsy (CP) in addition to the different forms of motor and mental rehabilitation. Design: A prospective, assessor-blinded randomized control trial was carried out in the past 15 years with 585 children in an inpatient rehabilitation unit with day hospital service. After inclusion, patients were randomly stratified into a control group and an acupuncture group. The continous follow up was performed pediatric neurologists and physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy in addition to skilled medical and nursing care. Outcome measures: changes in optimizing mobility, learning potential, mental development, changes of primary conditions, Qualtiy of Life (QoL) and the independent neurological investigation were used to follow-up the efficacy of the treatment. Results: In the permanent acupuncture group (combined YNSA and body acupuncture) all the sensory, motor and functional scores improved significantly during the examination period until 5 years after birth. A significant development during the 2-year follow-up was found due to developmental behavior pediatrician activity and special daily performed moving exercices, but the embedding acupuncture with YNSA and some important body points (they are motoric trigger points of muscles) treatment facilitated the mental and functional development. Improved moving and mental function, more flexible joints and ligaments were observed in comparison to the small patients’ condition prior to treatment. The number of seizures decreased, the reduction of antiepileptic drugs was possible, which resulted an elevated mental vigility. Statistical analyses showed significant improvement in Barthel index. Conclusion: The data suggest, that the embedding forms of acupuncture of YNSA and body acupoints are useful additional accessor methods in the rehabilitation of some forms of infantile CP. It enhances their quality of life, helping their integration into healthy child population.
