Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of Bushen Xingnao acupuncture treatment on motor function, serum nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in children with cerebral palsy. Methods:109 children with cerebral palsy were divided into two groups by the table of random number. 54 cases in the control group were given modern physical rehabilitation therapy and routine functional training, while 55 cases in the observation group were combined with Bushen Xingnao acupuncture treatment on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy, developmental level, cerebral blood circulation status and nerve factor levels were compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate, the scores of Gesell Development Schedule(GOS), gross motor function measure (GMFM-88) and Peabody developmental motor scale-fine-motor ( PDMS-FM), the levels of middle cerebral artery(MCA), anterior cerebral artery(ACA), basilar artery(BA) and vertebral artery, the levels of BDNF and NGF in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of Bushen Xingnao acupuncture treatment in children with cerebral palsy has obvious effect, which can effectively promote the expression of BDNF and NGF, improve cerebral blood circulation and enhance the development level of patients.
