BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of needle-pricking therapy on peripheral facial paralysis.
METHODS
This study included 162 patients with peripheral facial paralysis, 107 of whom were treated with usual care (conventional and alternative treatments) and 55 of whom were additionally treated with needle-pricking therapy on 3 specific extra-meridian acupuncture points known as 'Samjoong' (Sānchóng in Chinese). We evaluated changes in facial motor functions and sequelae using the Yanagihara and gross House-Brackmann grading systems before and after treatments.
RESULTS
Yanagihara score and House-Brackmann grade significantly improved after treatments in both groups. However, the needle-pricking therapy group showed greater improvements in Yanagihara score and House-Brackmann grade than the usual care group.
CONCLUSION
Our results suggest that Samjoong needle-pricking therapy could be applied as an adjunct therapy to usual care for patients with peripheral facial paralysis.
背景
本研究旨在探讨针刺疗法对周围性面瘫的影响。
方法
本研究纳入了162例周围性面瘫患者，其中107例接受常规护理（传统和替代疗法），另外55例在3个特定的经外奇穴“Samjoong”（中文为“三重”）上额外接受针刺疗法。我们在治疗前后使用柳原和总体House-Brackmann分级系统评估面部运动功能和后遗症的变化。
结果
两组治疗后柳原评分和House-Brackmann分级均显著改善。然而，针刺疗法组在柳原评分和House-Brackmann分级方面的改善程度大于常规护理组。
结论
我们的结果表明，三重针刺疗法可作为周围性面瘫患者常规护理的辅助疗法应用。
