Bioelectricity of the affected muscles at acute stage, recovery stage and sequel state in 93 cases of peripheral facial paralysis was observed with EMG. Pathological potential or motor potential was found to be reduced to varying degrees in all the affected muscles. After treatment by point-through-point acupuncture, myodynamia recovered fairly rapidly, EMG showed obvious changes, pathological potential decreased, and the normal motor unit potential increased remarkably. Comparative analysis of EMG before and after acupuncture indicated that point-through-point acupuncture had an obvious therapeutic effect on the disease. It was also very significant that EMG was used in diagnosing various stages of peripheral facial paralysis, evaluation of prognosis and guidance in clinical treatment.
采用肌电图观察93例周围性面瘫患者急性期、恢复期及后遗症期患侧肌肉的生物电情况。发现所有患侧肌肉的病理电位或运动电位均有不同程度降低。采用透穴针刺治疗后，肌力恢复较快，肌电图有明显变化，病理电位降低，正常运动单位电位明显增加。针刺前后肌电图对比分析表明，透穴针刺对本病有明显治疗作用。应用肌电图对周围性面瘫各期进行诊断、预后评估及指导临床治疗也具有重要意义。
