Abstract:Objective To compare the effect of nape quick needling and retaining needling in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. Methods Thirty patients with peripheral facial paralysis treated in the Third Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Shanxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2017 to September 2018 were selected as study subjects. They were divided into control group (retained needling) and treatment group (quick needling) according to random number table method, with 15 cases in each group. Control group and treatment group were treated with nape cluster retained needling and quick needling respectively. They were treated with 5 days as a course of treatment, with a total of 4 courses of treatment. After each course of treatment, they took a rest of 2 days. The efficacy and scores of the front disability index (FDI) scale before and after treatment of two groups were compared. Results After treatment, the scores of FDI scale in both groups were higher than those before treatment (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the scores of FDI scale between two groups after treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, there was no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Nape cluster quick needling and retained needling have the same effect in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.
