张卫华以“滞针法”为主治疗顽固性面瘫,根据顽固性面瘫多表现为眼(不能闭合或兼流泪)、口部(歪斜)特征,应用眼部3+2(患侧头维、太阳、完骨下,患侧阳白、四白)滞针法、口部3向颊车(患侧迎香、地仓、承浆、颊车)滞针法为主治疗,适当加大刺激,通经活络,以恢复正常功能。

This paper introduces Professor Zhang Weihua’s clinical experience in the treatment of intractable facial paralysis with the retained needle method.It is known that intractable facial paralysis is usually characterized by the eyes(unable to be closed or with tears)and mouth(skewed).Accordingly,the retained needle method is applied on the eyes points(under the patients’Touwei(ST8),Taiyang(EX-HN5),Wangu(GB12),and Yangbai(GB14),Sibai(ST2)on the aff ected side),on the mouth points(Yingxiang(LI20),Dicang(ST4),Chengjiang(CV24),and Jiache(ST6)on the aff ected side)as the main treatment.The stimulation should be increased appropriately in order to unblock the channels and activate the collaterals,and to restore normal functions.
