To observe clinical therapeutic effect of reinforcing method of acupuncture on Bell's palsy at restoration stage.
One hundred and sixty cases were randomly divided into two groups: an observation group and a control group, 80 cases in each group. The observation group were treated by acupuncture with lifting-thrusting-twirling reinforcing method, and the control group by acupuncture without needling manipulation. The therapeutic effect, and changes of palsy index, degree of palsy and ENoG were observed.

The reinforcing method of acupuncture can increase the therapeutic effect on Bell's palsy at restoration stage.
