Clinical Study Of Optimalized Proposal On Bell's Palsy Treated By Acupuncture By Stages

Objective:Based on the previous study about facial paralysis.this study is to observe the clinical effect of acupuncture,moxibustion,electric-acupuncture and channel-acupuncture by stages and find the optimalized proposal.Methods:160 patients were randomly divided into eight groups(A-H) with 20 cases respectively and treated with acupuncture,moxibustion,electric-acupuncture and channel-acupuncture based on the plan.Then observer determined and reviewed the degree of paralysis on time and calculated the obvious curative rate and the cute rate. The last work is to compile statistics and find the optimalized plan of treatment about different time and damaged levels.Results:The result shows that the difference of obvious curative rate is not obvious The difference of the cute rate shows that electric-acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the symptoms of the face, the average cute rate are 75% and 70%.The curative effect is better than the other two treatments.At the same time,the facial nerve that was damaged below Chorda Tympani Nerve can be treated easier than the other.But the time is not important factor.Conclusion:This study proves that the patients whose facial nerve is damaged below Chorda Tympani Nerve shoud be treated with electric-acupuncture and moxibustion.Electric-acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the symptoms of the face and the influence of the time may be studied later in detail.
