It is believed that the basic pathogenesis of oculomotor nerve paralysis （ONP） is qi and blood depletion and channel obstruction. Taking channel pattern differentiation as the core， it is recommended to use acupuncture mainly based on location， syndrome and channel deficiency-excess differentiation. Location and channel tropism differentiation mainly follows the principle of “where the channels and collaterals pass， the main treatment can reach”， and commonly uses acupuncture points on Dumai （督脉）， the hand Shaoyang （少阳） Sanjiao （三焦） channel， the hand Taiyang （太阳） small intestine channel， three yang channels of the foot， the hand Shaoyin （少阴） heart channel， the foot Jueyin （厥阴） liver channel， and others， and combines scalp acupuncture with electro-acupuncture to enhance channel stimulation. Pattern and channel tropism differentiation is to differentiate the entered channel according to clinical symptoms and zang-fu patterns. The differentiation of deficiency-excess should be payed attention to， and the principle of “supplementing the deficiency， and draining the excess” should be followed. The supplementing and draining method should be used rationally by considering the differences in the supplementing and draining acupoints themselves， as well as the actual condition of the patients. Simultaneously， it is suggested to combine manipulation and stimulation amount and effect in clinical practice.
