Abstract:
ABSTRACT:OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation at Yifeng acupoint (TE1 7) combined with stellate ganglion block in treating Hunt syndrome at acute stage and their influence on levels of stress hormones.METHODS 56 cases diagnosed with Hunt syndrome at acute stage were divided into observation group and control group based on consultation time,with 28 cases in each group.Patients in the control group were given conventional therapy (oral famciclovir granules and mecobalamin capsules),while those in the observation group were further given transcutaneous electrical stimulation of Yifeng acupoint(TE1 7) and stellate ganglion block,apart from the conventional therapy.After two courses of treatment,pain degree,regression time of herpes,recovery time of facial paralysis,adrenaline and noradrenaline content were observed and comparison were made before and after treatment.RESULTS Pain degree(vas pain scores),regres-sion time of herpes,recovery time of facial paralysis in the observation group after treatment were lower or less than those in the control group,with statistical differences(P <0.05).There were statistical differences before and after treatment in adren-aline and noradrenaline content of both groups(P <0.05).And statistical differences could be found between the two groups when compared with each other(P <0.05).CONCLUSION Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of Yifeng acupoint(TE1 7) combined with stellate ganglion block possesses certain therapeutic effects in treating Hunt syndrome at acute stage and is able to reduce stress responses so as to avoid other complications.
