Thus, the combination of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for peripheral facial paralysis in cheap and effective treatment method is the main research direction of clinical workers.[Purpose]We observed60cases of acupuncture treatment of peripheral facial paralysis by using a randomized grouping method and confirmed the treatment methods of combination of moxibustion and acupuncture being feasible for curing the disease and providing theory basis for clinical promotion.[Method] There are60cases of peripheral facial paralysis in total in this research. One of the group composed by30cases were treated with combination acupuncture and moxibustion, and the other group of30cases were treated with simple acupuncture method. All of the selections were randomly and both of the treatments lasted for4weeks.After4weeks treatment, we compared the results of clinical symptom scone, facial function improvement and efficacy of maintenance status of the two groups before and after treatment.[Result]1. Before the treatment of two groups, the comparison result of facial nerve function standard score and House-Braehmann scale(H-B scale) showed no significant difference(p>0.05) by statistical analysis.2. There were statistically difference(p<0.05) in the facial nerve function evaluation standard score, showing up both of two groups of patients before and after treatment.3. Two groups of statistical analysis of House-Braehmannscale(H-B scale) showed significant sifference(p<0.05), which were before and after treatment.4. After the treatment, both of the2groups of the facial nerve function evaluation standard score and House-Braehmann score have clinical a curative effect accompanied with statistical difference.[Conclusion]1.
