Abstract:Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Sheng's facial three-needle therapy on peripheral facial paralysis. Methods:A total of 88 cases of patients with peripheral facial paralysis were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group by the random number table method , with 44 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with normal acupuncture,and the observation group was treated with Sheng's facial three-needle therapy. Clinical effects were compared between the two groups. The neurological function, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores, and physical and social functions were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 95.45% in the observation group,higher than that of 72.73% in the control group (P< 0.05). After treatment,the scores of the House-Brackmann (H-B) in the two groups were decreased (P< 0.05),and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of the disappearance of forehead wrinkles, inability to close eyes, deviation of mouth and eyes, enlarged eye fissures, dry eyes and tearing, and shallower nasolabial folds in the two groups were declined (P<0.05), and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment,the scores of Facial Disability Index-Physical Function (FDIP) in the two groups were increased (P<0.05), and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); the scores of Facial Disability Index-Scocial Function (FDIS) in the two groups were reduced (P<0.05),and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Sheng's facial three-needle therapy has better clinical effects on the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. Not only can it improve patients' facial nerve function and alleviate traditional Chinese medicine symptoms,but it can also enhance their physical and social functions.
