1.Clinical observation on electroacupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis at different stages.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2005;25(5):323-325
OBJECTIVETo probe into the optimal opportunity of electroacupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.
METHODSOne hundred and twenty cases were randomly divided into group A and B, 60 cases in each group. The group A were treated by electroacupuncture and ultrashort-wave from the acute stage and the group B were treated by ultrashort-wave at the acute stage and ultrashort-wave plus electroacupuncture at the resting stage.
RESULTSThe cured and markedly effective rate was 85.0% and the total effective rate was 98.3% in the group A, and 68.3% and 91.7% in the group B respectively (P < 0.05); there was no significant difference between the two groups in abnormal myoelectrogram before treatment and at the 8th day (P > 0.05); but at the 30th day the number of cases in whom BR wave turned to normal or mild abnormal in the group A were more than those in the group B (P < 0.05), and the shortening of the latent period of M wave and increase of the wave amplitude were significantly better than those in the group B (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONElectroacupuncture at acute stage can significantly increase the cured and markedly effective rate, and the acute stage is the optimal opportunity for acupuncture treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.

OBJECTIVETo observe therapeutic effect of aponeurotic system penetration needling on peripheral facial paralysis.
METHODSOne hundred and ten cases of peripheral facial paralysis were randomly divided into a Jingjin group (n=68) and a control group (n=42). The therapeutic effects of acute stage, resting stage and sequela stage, and the relation between the facial nerve lesion degree and the therapeutic effect were investigated.
RESULTSThe effective rates of the two needling methods were respectively 98.5% and 90.5%, the Jing1in group being better than the control group (P < 0.05); at the acute stage, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture was obvious, and the therapeutic effect at the sequela stage and for the patient of nerve faulty type in the Jingjin group were better than that of the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture and moxibustion has definite therapeutic effect on facial paralysis at the acute stage and in the patient of nerve active type, and aponeurotic system penetration needling can be used for the patient of facial paralysis at the sequela stage or with nerve faulty type.

5.Professor Chen Quan-xin's experiences on treatment of facial paralysis.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2011;31(5):429-431
The clinical experiences of Professor Chen Quan-xin on treatment of facial paralysis are introduced. Based on the theory of Chinese medicine and instructed by differentiation of syndromes, Professor Chen attached great importance on analysis of etiology and pathology in modern medicine, and emphasized on treatment of facial paralysis according to different classifications and stages in combination of differentiation of syndromes and differentiation of diseases. His selection of point is refined and accurate. Conduct of qi through needling manipulations and reinforcing and reducing methods in various degrees are promoted by him as well. And it is held that obvious enhancement of the therapeutic effect can be achieved since other treatments are combined according to different types and stages of the disease.

OBJECTIVETo raise some problems in the literature of acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis and improving suggestions.
METHODSThe CHKD system was used to search out 817 papers of acupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysist, which were reviewed, organized and summarized.
RESULTSIn the literature of acupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis, insufficient understanding in the relative information of clinical data, naming of intractable facial paralysis, differentiation between of the sequelae and complications, the criteria or cproblems in the literature and so on were found.
CONCLUSIONThere are some common and representative problems in these papers of acupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis, which may result in incorrect opinion about the theory and clinical study of acupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. Sufficiently considering and resolving the above problems can not only improve the quality of the papers on acupuncture for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis as a whole, but also have active influence on both treatment and diagnosis of this disease.

7.Clinical observation on relation of different therapeutic methods with prognosis of acute idiopathetic facial paralysis.
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion 2005;25(5):320-322
OBJECTIVETo find the optimal therapeutic program for treatment of acute idiopathetic facial paralysis.
METHODSFour hundred and seventy-seven cases were randomly divided into acupuncture group (group A) treated by routine point multiple needle shallow needling, electroacupuncture group (group B) treated by routine point plus electroacupuncture, drug group (group C), acupuncture plus drug group (group D), and electroacupuncture plus drug group (group E). After treatment of 40 sessions, their therapeutic effects were compared.
RESULTSThe effective rate was 84.0%, 57.1%, 60.6%, 95.8% and 73.5% in the 5 groups respectively; the effective rate in the group D was the best with a very significant difference as compared with other groups (P < 0.01); and there were very significant differences in the therapeutic effect as the group A compared with the group B and C (both P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONAcupuncture combined with drug is the best program for treatment of acute idiopathetic facial paralysis, and the multiple needle shallow needling is better than electroacupuncture or simple medication.

OBJECTIVETo study on therapeutic effect of isolated electroacupuncture on peripheral facial paralysis.
METHODSOne hundred cases were randomly divided into an observation group of 60 cases and a control group of 40 cases. The observation group were treated by isolated electroacupuncture and the control group by normal electroacupuncture. Jiache (ST 6), Yangbai (GB 14), Dicang (ST 4), Xiaguan (ST 7), Fengchi (GB 20) and Hegu (LI 4) were selected and same drugs were administrated in the two groups. Then their therapeutic effects were observed.
RESULTSForty-five cases were cured, 11 cases were markedly effective and 4 cases improved with an effective rate of 100.0% in the observation group, and corresponding figures were 26, 2 and 10 cases, and 95.0% in the control group, the observation group being better than the control group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONIsolated electroacupuncture has a significant therapeutic effect on facial paralysis, being better than that of normal electroacupuncture.

Professor DONG Gui-rong's theoretical principle and manipulation points for peripheral facial paralysis were introduced in details from the angels of syndrome differentiation, timing, acupoint prescription and needling methods. For the syndrome differentiation and timing, the professor emphasized to check the treatment timing and follow the symptoms, which should be treated by stages, besides, it was necessary to find and distinguish the reason and nature of diseases to have a combined treatment of tendons and muscles. For the acupoint prescription and needling methods, he has proposed that the acupoints selection should be compatible of distal and lacal, and made a best of Baihui (GV 20) to regulate the whole yang qi, also he has paid much attention to the needling methods and staging treatment. Under the consideration of late stage of peripheral facial paralysis, based on syndrome differentiation Back-shu points have been selected to regulate zang-fu function, should achieve much better therapeutic effect.
