Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the curative effect of combined acupuncture and medicine on pseudobulbar paralysis.

Results:The effective rate was 92.0% in the acupuncture group and 62.5% in the control group. There was a very significant difference in curative effect between the two groups(P＜ 0.01). Conclusion: The curative effect of combined acupuncture and medicine on pseudobulbar paralysis is significantly better than that of simple Western medicine.
