Main acupoints used are Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (EX HN 3), Sibai (ST 2), Dicang (ST 4) and Hegu (LI 4). After insertion, the needles are retained but not manipulated, and the acupoints are irradiated with TDP for 20-60 min every time. The treatment is conducted once daily, with 10 sessions being a therapeutic course. Following 6-28 sessions of treatment, of the 150 cases, 145 are cured, 2 experience remarkable improvement and 3 have improvement, with the total effective rate being 100%. The fact indicates that acupuncture plus TDP irradiation is rather effective in the treatment of facial palsy.展开更多
