To explore the effects of Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture combined with acupoint and massage on mental and motor function development in children with cerebral palsy. Methods:A total of 120 children with cerebral palsy in Maternal and Child Care Service Centre in Dongguan from March 2014 to March 2018，were randomly divided into the basic group，group A，group B and group C，with 30 cases in each group. The basic group was given routine western medicine treatment，while the group A was treated with routine western medicine treatment with acupoint and massage，the group B was treated with routine western medicine treatment with Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture，and the group C was treated with routine western medicine with acupoint and massage as well as Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture. The intelligence，motor function development and rehabilitation effects before and after treatment were compared among the groups. Results:After treatment，DQ of the motor function，DQ of the language ability，DQ of the responsiveness，the total DQ scores，GMFM-88 and FMFM scores were significantly increased in the 4 groups(P<0.05)，among which the group C after treatment were significantly higher than that of the other 3 groups(P<0.05)，while the scores in group A and B were significantly higher than that of the basic group(P<0.05)，however，there were no significant differences in the scores between group A and group B(P>0.05). After treatment，there were significant differences on the rehabilitation effect distribution and total effective rates among the 4 groups(P<0.05). The total effective rate of the group C was 86.67%，which was significantly higher than those of the other 3 groups(P<0.01). The total effective rates of the group A and B were significantly higher than that of the basic group(P<0.01). There was no significant difference on the total effective rates between group A and group B(P>0.05). Conclusion:On the basis of routine western medicine treatment，Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture combined with acupoint and massage can significantly improve the mental and motor function development in children with cerebral palsy as well as enhance the rehabilitation effects，of which the effects are obviously superior to those of simple application of Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture or acupoints massage on the basis of routine western medicine treatment.
