Objective:
To observe clinical therapeutic effect of reinforcing method of acupuncture on Bell's palsy at restoration stage.
Methods:
One hundred and sixty cases were randomly divided into two groups: an observation group and a control group, 80 cases in each group. The observation group were treated by acupuncture with lifting-thrusting-twirling reinforcing method, and the control group by acupuncture without needling manipulation. The therapeutic effect, and changes of palsy index, degree of palsy and ENoG were observed.
Results:
Reinforcing method of acupuncture could significantly improve palsy index, degree of palsy and maximal wave amplitude of ENoG; the cured and markedly effective rate was 91.3% in the observation group and 75.0% in the control group with a very significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01).
Conclusion:
The reinforcing method of acupuncture can increase the therapeutic effect on Bell's palsy at restoration stage.
