Abstract:

Objective　To explore the effect of suspension rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment system combined with appropriate Chinese medicine technology on preschool children with autism. Methods　This study was a randomized controlled trial. From January 2023 to June 2024, a total of 62 preschool children with autism treated in Shenzhen Baoan Women's and Children's Hospital were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 31 children in each group. In the control group, there were 18 boys and 13 girls, aged (3.97±1.31) years, 20 moderate cases and 11 severe cases. In the experimental group, there were 17 boys and 14 girls, aged (4.02±1.34) years, 22 moderate cases and 9 severe cases. The control group was treated with the suspension rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment system, and the experimental group was treated with the appropriate technology of traditional Chinese medicine on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The scores of Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) before and after treatment and clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared. Statistical methods used were t test and χ² test. Results　After treatment, the scores of language, communication, feeling, self-care, and exercise and total score of the ABC in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (t=3.345, 5.171, 4.922, 9.017, 7.158, and 6.078, all P<0.05); the scores of social contact, health-body-behavior, speech-language-communication, and sense-cognition-consciousness in the experimental group were all lower than those in the control group [(20.28±2.36) points vs. (26.41±2.75) points, (27.25±3.09) points vs. (34.87±3.63) points, (14.10±2.12) points vs. (18.64±2.59) points, (19.48±2.60) points vs. (25.78±2.91) points], with statistically significant differences (t=9.418, 8.900, 7.552, and 8.989, all P<0.05). The effective rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [93.55% (29/31) vs. 67.74% (21/31)], with a statistically significant difference (χ²=6.613, P<0.05). Conclusion　Suspension rehabilitation diagnosis and treatment system combined with appropriate technology of traditional Chinese medicine has a significant effect on preschool children with autism, which can obviously improve behaviors, symptoms, and prognosis.

摘要：

目的　探讨悬吊康复诊疗系统联合中医适宜技术对学龄前期自闭症儿童的疗效。方法　采用随机对照试验。将2023年1月至2024年6月深圳市宝安区妇幼保健院接收的62例学龄前期自闭症患儿用随机抽签法分为对照组和试验组，各31例。对照组：男18例，女13例，年龄（3.97±1.31）岁；病情严重程度：中度20例，重度11例；使用悬吊康复诊疗系统治疗。试验组：男17例，女14例，年龄（4.02±1.34）岁；病情严重程度：中度22例，重度9例；在对照组基础上联合中医适宜技术。两组均治疗8周。比较两组治疗前后儿童自闭症行为评定量表（ABC）、孤独症治疗评估量表（ATEC）评分和临床疗效。统计学方法采用t检验、χ²检验。结果　治疗后，试验组语言、交往、感觉、自理、运动及ABC总分均低于对照组，差异均有统计学意义（t=3.345、5.171、4.922、9.017、7.158、6.078，均P<0.05）；试验组ATEC中的社交、健康-躯体-行为、言语-语言-交流、感觉-认知-意识评分均低于对照组［（20.28±2.36）分比（26.41±2.75）分、（27.25±3.09）分比（34.87±3.63）分、（14.10±2.12）分比（18.64±2.59）分、（19.48±2.60）分比（25.78±2.91）分］，差异均有统计学意义（t=9.418、8.900、7.552、8.989，均P<0.05）。试验组治疗有效率高于对照组［93.55%（29/31）比67.74%（21/31）］，差异有统计学意义（χ²=6.613，P<0.05）。结论　悬吊康复诊疗系统联合中医适宜技术治疗学龄前期自闭症儿童疗效显著，能改善患儿行为及症状，值得推广。
