To explore the best therapeutic method in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. Methods: One hundred and twenty cases were randomized into a conventional acupuncture group [Yangbai ( GB 14), Sibai ( ST 2), Yingxiang ( LI 20), etc.], a Ranying ( ST 9) acupuncture group and an operation + acupuncture group [acupuncture at ST 9 as the main acupoint and the stellate ganglion block (SGB)], 40 cases in each one. The treatment was given once a day, 7 treatments made one session. After 3 sessions of treatment, the latency and the amplitude of the direct stimulation evoked potential of the facial nerve (ENoG) were compared before and after treatment in three groups, as well as R1 and R2 values of blink reflex (BR).
