Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical application effect of acupuncture combined with self-designed prescription for clearing heat and regulating collaterals in treating wind-heat type peripheral facial paralysis. Methods From April 2017 to December 2018, 120 patients with wind-heat peripheral facial paralysis in Sanhe City Hospital of Hebei Province were selected. They were divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 60 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with acupuncture combined with self-designed prescription for clearing heat and regulating collaterals, while the control group was treated with conventional Western medicine. Both groups were treated with 1 course of treatment for 10 days, with 2 courses of treatment. Facial nerve function evaluation system, facial nerve simple clinical scoring method and facial nerve muscle strength test were used to evaluate the efficacy. Adverse events occurred during treatment were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results After treatment, the scores of facial nerve function in the two groups were lower than before treatment (P < 0.01), and the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01). After treatment, the index of muscle strength level in the two groups was increased compared with that before treatment (P < 0.01), the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the simple scoring index of the two groups was increased compared with that before treatment (P < 0.01), the observation group was higher than that of control group (P < 0.05). The effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture combined with self-designed heat-clearing and collateral-activating prescription has a significant effect in treating wind-heat type peripheral facial paralysis, which can effectively improve patients′ facial functions and improve their quality of life, and has a good safety, which can be popularized in clinical practice.
