Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of reinforcing-reducing needling methods in treating peripheral facial paralysis. Method Seventy facial paralysis patients were randomized into two groups to compare the reinforcing-reducing needling methods and conventional acupuncture. The House-Brackmann (H-B) scale was observed and compared prior to the treatment, right after the treatment, and respectively after 30-day, 3-month, and 6-month treatments, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated after 6-month treatments. Result The H-B score of the reinforcing-reducing manipulation group was superior to that of the conventional group (P<0.05), and the therapeutic efficacy of the manipulation group was more significant than that of the conventional group (P<0.05). Conclusion The reinforcing-reducing needling methods can produce a better therapeutic efficacy in treating peripheral facial paralysis compared to conventional acupuncture.
