Clinical experience of MA Ruofei on acupuncture treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy
This paper discussed six acupuncture therapies ordinarily used by MA Ruofei in clinical practice,included body acupuncture,scalp acupuncture,electroacupuncture,teasing needle,acupuncture point injection,and massage after activity with needles.It expounded the acupuncture treatment experience of doctor MA from the aspects of pathological classification,different symptoms and body regions.Doctor MA concluded the effect of acupuncture in treatment of children with cerebral palsy(CP)was to stimulate the brain's potential and to improve motor function.Scalp acupuncture primarily stimulated the brain's potential,while body acupuncture improved the motor function.In spastic cerebral palsy,body acupuncture was characteristically divided into four points at the beginning and the end,also the middles of a muscle,using the point-through-point method,which could relieve spasms and reduce muscle tone.In dyskinetic cerebral palsy,it emphasized acupuncture of'jiaji points on neck','aligned acupuncture on back'and other jiaji points(EX-B2),so that the upper and lower pathways of the spinal cord could be improved and dredged.In addition,more attention should be paid to treatment of muscle knots and contractures mainly in back of the children caused by long-term spasm and stress reaction,which MA called'malignant channels',and it could be removed and decomposed by teasing needle in severe cases.
