DATA SOURCES: We conducted electronic searches of PUBMED(1950/2017), EMBASE(1974/2017), Science Direct(1986/2017), Academic Source Premier(1887/2017), the Cochrane Library(Issue 4, April 2017), Science Citation Index Expanded(1900/2017), China National Knowledge Infrastructure(1915/2017), China Biological Medicine(1990/2017-04), Wan Fang(1980/2017), VIP(1989/2017), and Chinese Science Citation Database(1989/2017). DATA SELECTION: We included randomized controlled trials that aimed to compare the effect of acupuncture plus rehabilitation training versus rehabilitation training alone. Data about functional motor abilities, daily activity/social participation, effective rate, intellectual development, and adverse effects were included. We used Revman 5.2 software for statistical analysis. OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes included functional motor abilities, daily activity, and effective rate. The secondary outcomes included intellectual development and adverse effects.RESULTS: Twenty-one studies with a total of 1718 participants met the inclusion criteria. The effect size of gross motor function(SMD = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.52 to 0.76, P 〈 0.00001; I^2 = 0%, P = 0.69; in 13 studies with 1144 patients) and the total effective rate(RR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.20 to 1.37, P 〈 0.00001; I^2 = 18%, P = 0.27; in 12 studies with 1106 patients) suggested that acupuncture plus rehabilitation produced a significant improvement in gross motor function and a high total effective rate. The pooled fine motor function(SMD = 3.48, 95% CI: 2.62 to 4.34, P 〈 0.00001; I^2 = 64%, P = 0.10; in 2 studies with 193 patients), modified Ashworth scale scores(SMD = –0.31, 95% CI: –0.52 to –0.11, P = 0.003; I^2 = 74%, P = 0.004; in 5 studies with 363 patients) and activities of daily living(SMD = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.20 to 1.71, P 〈 0.00001; I^2 = 78%, P = 0.00展开更多
