Clinical Observation on 40 Cases of Peripheral Facial Paralysis Treated with Wrist-Ankle
Acupuncture
Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion, Vol. 21, No. 4, 2001
Li Liangping, (Pingshan People’s Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, 51811)
Purpose: To investigate the therapeutic effect of Wrist-Ankle acupuncture treatment for peripheral
facial paralysis.
Method: Wrist-Ankle acupuncture was used for observation group (40 cases) and regular
acupuncture for the control group (30 cases). The patients in both groups were treated once per day.
Result: There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in
the therapeutic effect and the treated days (P>0.05), but there was a significant difference between
the two groups in the relation between the treated sessions and the therapeutic effect (P<0.005).
See tables below.
