Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of stellate ganglion block for the treatment of facial paralysis. Methods 128 patients were randomly divided into two groups. Control group was treated by routine therapy , treatment group was treated by routine therapy plus stellate ganglion block. The effects of the two groups were evaluated by facial paralysis scale. Effective rate and cure rate as well as the course of therapy after treatment were also observed and compared. Results The cure rate of treatment group was 65% , effective rate was 98%. The cure rate of control group was 35% .effective rate was 82%. The cure rate and effective rate of treatment group were significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0. 05 ). The mean effective time and cure time of treatment group were shorter than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Stellate ganglion block plus routine therapy produced better therapeutic effect and shortened the therapeutic course of facial paralysis.
