Abstract：Objective To study the effect of comprehensive therapy based on blood pricking therapy on Bell′s facial paralysis. Methods From January 2016 to December 2018, 60 patients with Bell′s facial paralysis were collected from Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. According to the random number table method, they were divided into two groups, each group of 30 cases. One case was lost or removed, 59 cases were completed, 30 cases in control group and 29 cases in treatment group. Control group was treated with acupuncture, while treatment group was treated with blood pricking therapy and acupuncture. Control group was treated 5 times a week, 10 times a course, a total of 4 courses. In treatment group, acupuncture plus bloodletting was performed 5 times a week in the acute period, 3 times a week in the recovery period and linkage period, 10 times as a course of treatment, a total of 4 courses of treatment. The physical function, social function, H-B facial nerve function score and recovery time of two groups were observed. Results The overall analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the scores of body function, social function and H-B facial nerve function between two groups (P > 0.05). Intra group comparison: the body function score of FDI in control group on the 15th day of treatment was higher than that on the 0th day of treatment, and H-B facial nerve function score was lower than that on the 0th day of treatment; the score of FDI body function in control group on the 30th day was higher than that on the 15th day, and the scores of FDI social function and H-B facial nerve function were lower than those on the 15th day, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The score of FDI body function in treatment group on the 30th day was higher than that on the 15th day, and the scores of FDI social function and H-B facial nerve function were lower than those on the 15th day, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Among groups comparison: there were no significant differences between two groups in the scores of body function, social function and H-B facial nerve function (P > 0.05). The recovery time of treatment group was shorter than that of control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with bleeding therapy and acupuncture alone are both effective in the treatment of Bell′s facial paralysis. By contrast, acupuncture combined with bleeding therapy shortened the period of treatment and had a higher cure rate.
