Abstract

To investigate the difference in the therapeutic effect of different methods in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) at different stages. Methods: Sixty cases of PFP at different stages were divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the sequence for visit, and 30 patients were included in each group. The patients in the treatment group were treated by using drugs, acupuncture (shallow puncture and subexcite) and microwave therapy during the acute stage, and they were subjected to electroacupuncture (EA) (heavy stimulation and penetration needling), acupoint injection, electrotherapy and massage during the convalescence stage. In contrast, the patients in the control group were treated simply with drugs, and the therapeutic methods during the convalescence stage were the same to those for the treatment group, and the therapeutic effect of the two groups was observed after three treatment courses.
