A Clinical Research Of Treating Wind-cold Peripheral Facial Paralysis With Warming-acupuncture

Objective:By observing the efficacy of warming-acupuncture in the treatment of wind-cold peripheral facial paralysis, explore the mechanism of warming-acupuncture treatment of peripheral facial paralysis, optimize the program of acupuncture treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.Methods:50cases met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into warming-acupuncture group and acupuncture group, the two groups were treated with warming-acupuncture and acupuncture respectively, On H-B subscale and FDI subscale testing on patients before treatment and after four courses respectively. Observe the efficacy of warming-acupuncture in the treatment of wind-cold peripheral facial paralysis.Results:(1) After four courses of treatment, comparison of the efficacy indicators of two groups before and after treatment were significant differences (P<0.05), which indicated that the treatment methods of two groups both can improve the patient’s facial nerve function.(2) After treatment, comparison of H-B score and FDI physical function score of the two groups of patients, the results were significant differences (P<0.05), indicating that the warming-acupuncture group in improving the patient’s facial nerve function and physical status is superior to acupuncture group; comparison of FDI social function score of the two groups of patients, the results were not significant differences (P>0.05), indicating no difference in the two groups to improve the social function in patients..(3) The total effective rate of warming-acupuncture group and acupuncture were80.00%and70.83%respectively, which have statistically significant differences (P<0.05), suggesting that the efficacy of warming-acupuncture is superior to acupuncture.Conclusions:1. Acupuncture treatment of peripheral facial paralysis is effective, the two different acupuncture treatment both can be significantly improved the patient’s facial nerve function and the patient’s physical and social function, which suggested that acupuncture not only reduce the facial paralysis symptoms but also improve the body’s overall health status.2. The efficacy of warming-acupuncture treatment of wind-cold peripheral facial paralysis is superior to acupuncture, which can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms, this treatment is simple and effective, and easy to make the patients received, should be widely applied in clinical...
