Methods49 infants with cerebral palsy were classified into two groups, hyperbaric oxygenation group(29cases) and control group (20 cases). Two groups were treated with cerebrolysin and received family rehabilitation drill. In additional, the hyperbaric oxygenation group was treated with hyperbaric oxygenation therapy. The children's motor function of two groups was evaluated before and after the treatment.ResultsThe effect in the hyperbaric oxygenation group was better than that in the control group(P<0.01). Conclusions Hyperbaric oxygenation is an effective therapy on infantile cerebral palsy.

Key words: hyperbaric oxygenation, cerebral palsy, motor function
