Purpose: To investigate the effect of application of kangaroo-style intervention mode on neonatal cerebral palsy treated with mouse nerve growth factor.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 153 newborns with cerebral palsy on admission to Wuhan Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital, China between January 2016 and January 2020 were assigned to control group (n = 81) and study group (n = 72), based on differences in intervention schemes used. The control and study groups received mouse nerve growth factor and routine intervention, while study group received additional treatment with kangaroo-style intervention mode. After treatment, neonatal neurological function, intellectual development, intelligence development quotient, and growth and development indices were compared between the two groups.
Results: Scores on neurological function, mental development index and psychomotor development index, as well as intelligence development quotient were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in growth and development indices between the two groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Kangaroo-style intervention mode effectively improves neurological function, and promotes intellectual development in cerebral palsy newborns treated with mouse nerve growth factor. However, it had no significant effect on neonatal physical development.
