The total effective rate was 98.75% and cure rate 88.75%. There was no significant difference in therapeutic effect as compared with the conventional electroacupuncture method (P > 0.5), suggesting that shallow puncture by vibratings can also yield satisfactory therapeutic results.展开更多

Methods Sixty cases of PFP at different stages were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the sequence for visit, and 30 patients were included in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated by using drugs, acupuncture （shallow puncture and subexcite） and microwave therapy during the acute stage, and they were subjected to electroacupuncture （EA） （heavy stimulation and penetration needling）, acupoint injection, electrotherapy and massage during the convalescence stage. In contrast, the patients in the control group were treated simply with drugs, and the therapeutic methods during the convalescence stage were the same to those for the treatment group, and the therapeutic effect of the two groups was observed after three treatment courses. Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was 100.0% （30/30）, the cured rate after one treatment course was 48.2% （13/27）, the cured rate after two treatment courses was 44.4% （12/27）, and the cured rate after three treatment courses was 7.4% （2/27）. The total effective rate in the control group was 90.0% （27/30）, the cured rate after one treatment course was 5.5% （1/18）, the cured rate after two treatment courses was 27.8% （5/18）, and the cured rate after three treatment courses was 66.7% （12/18）. The therapeutic effect and the treatment courses for healing of the treatment group were significantly better than those in the control group （P0.05）. Conclusion the therapeutic effect of different therapeutic methods on PFP is remarkable.展开更多

Methods One hundred and twenty cases were randomized into a conventional acupuncture group [Yangbai （阳白 GB 24）, Sibai （四白 ST 2）, Yingxiang （迎香 LI 20）, etc.], a Renying （人迎ST 9） acupuncture group and an operation ＋ acupuncture group [acupuncture at ST 9 as the main acupoint and the stellate ganglion block （SGB）], 40 cases in each one. The treatment was given once a day, 7 treatments made one session. After 3 sessions of treatment, the latency and the amplitude of the direct stimulation evoked potential of the facial nerve （ENoG） were compared before and after treatment in three groups, as well as R2 and R2 values of blink reflex （BR）. The total clinical efficacy was assessed. Results The latency of ENoG was shortened and the amplitude was increased significantly in three groups. After treatment, ENoG latency was lower significantly in the operation ＋ acupuncture group as compared with that in the conventional acupuncture group （P〈0.05）. In the Renying （人迎 ST 9） acupuncture group, the amplitude of ENoG was increased as compared with P〈0.05）. After treatment in three groups, those in the other two groups （all R2 and R2 values were decreased significantly. The differences in R1 and R2 values in the Renying （人迎 ST 9） acupuncture group and the operation ＋ acupuncture group before and after treatment were bigger than those in the conventional acupuncture group （all P〈0.05）, and the difference in R2 value in the operation ＋ acupuncture group was bigger than that in the Renying （人迎 ST 9） acupuncture group （P〈O.05）. The clinical markedly effective and curative rate was 87.5% （35/40） in the operation ＋ acupuncture group, which was superior to 77.5% （32/40） in the Renying （）人迎 ST 9）acupuncture group and higher significantly than 65.0% （26/40） in the conventional acupuncture group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Compared with the conventional acupuncture, the efficacy on peripheral facial paralysis is much better in the Renying （人迎 ST 9） acupuncture group and the operation ＋ acupuncture group. Moreover, the early reflex function of the damaged facial nerve is much better recovered in the operation ＋ acupuncture group as compared with that in the Renying （人迎 ST 9） acupuncture group.展开更多

Compared with peripheral facial paralysis, facial nucleus paralysis is more complex with a high-level and high-degree injury, leading to a low cured rate in clinic. This case was cured successfully, which might be related to less bleeding amount from patients＇ lesion and more complete absorption of blood stasis, as well as accuracy of clinical syndrome differentiation, positioning and appropriateness of treatment method and acupoint selection of acupuncture in the mid to late stage.展开更多
