Methods: One hundred and nineteen cases with peripheral facial paralysis were randomly allocated into an observation group (60 cases) and a control group (59 cases) by the visiting sequence. The cases in the observation group were treated with electroacupuncture on Jiaozheng (Extra) plus hydro-acupuncture, and the cases in the control group were treated with normal acupuncture. The treatment was conducted once a day and 7 times as a course, with 1-2 d interval. Evaluation were done after 6 courses. Results: Comparing the cure and marked efficacy rate, observation group was much better than control group, and there was statistical difference (P〈0.05); after 14-day treatment, the cure and marked efficacy rate of the observation group and the control group was 78.3% and 49.2%, respectively; after 21-day treatment, the cure and marked efficacy rate of the observation group and the control group was 88.3% and 67.8%, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (P〈0.01). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture mainly on Jiaozheng (Extra) plus hydro-acupuncture in treating facial paralysis was better and with shorter courses.展开更多
