Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of drug injection in muscle motor points on children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods 230 children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into control group and observation group, with 115 cases in each group. The control group received comprehensive rehabilitation including functional training, physical therapy and medicine, while the observation group received injection of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 in muscle motor points in addition. They were assessed with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), mental development index (MDI) and psychomoter developmental index (PDI) of CDCC Infant Me Ntal Development Scale. Results The gross motor function improved, MAS score decreased, the scores of MDI and PDI increased after treatment (P<0.01) in both groups, which were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Drug injection in muscle motor points can improve the gross motor function, relieve spasm, and improve intelligence development of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
