Cases in the treatment group were treated with needling Yangming method, whereas cases in the control group were treated with traditional acupuncture method. The treatment was done once a day in both groups（6 times a week） for a total of 6 weeks. Then the therapeutic efficacies were evaluated before and after treatment using the House-Brackmann（H-B） scale and scores of signs and symptoms. Results： After 2 weeks of treatment, patients in the treatment group obtained a better H-B score and recovery rate than those in the control group（P〈0.05）. After 4 weeks of treatment, the H-B score, scores of signs and symptoms and recovery rate in the treatment group were better than those in the control group（P〈0.05, P0.01, P〈0.05）. After 6 weeks of treatment, there were no between-group statistical differences in the above aspects（P〉0.05）. Conclusion： Needling Yangming method can obtain a faster effect, a higher early-stage recovery rate and shorter course of treatment than traditional acupuncture method.展开更多
