Abstract:Objective To observe the clinical effect of syndrome differentiation acupuncture in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.Methods A total of 100 patients with peripheral facial paralysis treated in Qinhuangdao Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2020 to October 2021 were selected and they were divided into treatment group and control group according to the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was treated with traditional acupuncture. The treatment group was treated with symptom differentiation acupuncture. The clinical efficacy was compared between two groups. The changes of House-Brackman (H-B) facial nerve function grading score , traditional Chinese medicine symptom, and sign score and facial disability index before treatment, two and four weeks of treatment in the two groups were observed. Results After four weeks of treatment, the curative effect of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). H-B facial nerve function scores, traditional Chinese medicine symptom scores, somatic function and social function scores were statistically significant between the two groups at different time points (P<0.05). The H-B facial nerve function score and somatic function score of the treatment group were higher, and traditional Chinese medicine symptom score was lower than those of the control group after two weeks and four weeks of treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment of peripheral facial paralysis with syndrome differentiation acupuncture has a definite effect, which can significantly improve the patients’ facial symptoms, signs, functional activities, and social life quality.
