[ Observation on therapeutic effect of acupuncture on early peripheral facial paralysis ] . OBJECTIVE To observe therapeutic effects of acupuncture at different opportunities on peripheral facial paralysis . METHODS Fifty-two cases were randomly divided into a treatment group ( n=28 ) and a control group ( n=24 ) . The treatment group at the acute stage ( 1-10 days ) were treated with acupuncture at Dicang ( ST 4 ) , Jiache ( ST 6 ) , Yangbai ( GB 14 ) , etc. , with less than 4 points selected on the face and with shallow puncture , and 10 days later electroacupuncture were added at acupoints selected routinely ; the control group were treated with the same methods as the treatment group but acupuncture was not given at the acute stage . RESULTS The cured rate of 78.6 % in the treatment group was significantly higher than 50.0 % in the control group ( P < 0.05 ) . CONCLUSION Early acupuncture is a key for achieving the best therapeutic effect on facial paralysis .
