Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of scalp acupuncture combined with sensory perception training in the treatment of autism. Methods Seventy-two autistic children aged two to ten years admitted to the outpatient department and ward of Department of Rehabilitation, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine from May 2020 to October 2021 were selected and allocated. According to the computer-generated randomization procedure, the children who met the inclusion criteria were assigned to the combination group, the perception training group and the head acupuncture group according to 1∶1∶1, with 24 cases in each group. The combination group was treated with scalp acupuncture combined with sensory perception training. The perception training group was treated with hearing, touch, proprioception and perception training. The scalp acupuncture group was treated with long retaining needle of scalp acupuncture in the functional area of Yu’s seven zone division method. Childhood autism rating scale (CARS) and autism behavior checklist (ABC) scores before and after treatment in each group were compared. Results The overall analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in group comparison, time point comparison and interaction of CARS and ABC scores (P < 0.05). Further pairwise comparison, intra group comparison: the CARS and ABC scores of the three groups after 16 and 32 weeks of treatment were lower than those before treatment, the CARS and ABC scores of the three groups after 32 weeks of treatment were lower than those after 16 weeks of treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The group comparison: the CARS and ABC scores in the combination group were lower than those in the perception training group and the scalp acupuncture group after 16 and 32 weeks of treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion The effect of scalp acupuncture combined with sensory perception training in the treatment of autistic children is significantly better than that of simple sensory perception training and simple scalp acupuncture, which is more conducive to the early recovery of autistic children.
