Abstract

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of Hwato never and muscle stimulator on peripheral facial paralysis.

Methods: Eighty-seven cases of peripheral facial paralysis were randomly divided into a Hwato never and muscle stimulator observation group (n=44) and a G 6805 electronic stimulator control group (n=43). The same acupoints, Hegu (LI 4), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taichong (LR 3) and local acupoints on the affected side were selected in the two groups. The therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.

Results: Although the total effective rates were both 100.0% in the two groups, the cured rate was 90.9% in the observation group and 62.8% in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.05). There were no adverse effects in the two groups.

Conclusion: The cured rate of Hwato never and muscle stimulator on peripheral facial paralysis is superior to that of G 6805 electronic stimulator.
