| Abstract: | Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of early clinical interventions for children with global developmental delay. Methods: A total of 127 initial subjects with GDD met the complete inclusion criteria. Seven cases were excluded due to withdrawal or refusal for follow-up. Eventually, the remaining 120 children were divided into two groups based on different treatment regimens: an experimental group and a control group. Ninety children received individualized treatment in the experimental group, while 30 children, due to various reasons, did not receive inpatient treatment and only underwent home-based intervention therapy in the control group. The developmental progress under different intervention methods was compared, and their clinical effectiveness was analyzed. Results: Both groups of patients showed no significant differences in general characteristics such as gender and age (p > 0.05), demonstrating comparability. The initial comparison of developmental quotient scores in all patients before treatment revealed no significant differences. Post-treatment, there was improvement observed in both groups. However, children in the experimental group exhibited significantly higher scores in gross motor skills, fine motor skills, adaptability, language, and personal-social skills compared to those in the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the clinical effective rate in the experimental group was notably higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The combined use of acupuncture with home-based intervention therapy demonstrates favorable therapeutic outcomes in young children with comprehensive developmental delays. This approach has the potential to enhance gross motor skills, fine motor skills, cognition, language, and overall intellectual development in affected children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
