Objective:To explore the Clinical efficacy of Dicang(ST4)-to-Jiache(ST6)lifting and pulling needling in treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.Methods:60 patients were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group,with 30 patients in each group.In terms of needling ST4 and ST6,the control group was given conventional needling,whereas the treatment group was given ST4-to-ST6 lifting and pulling technique.Both groups were treated once a day,five times per week for four weeks.The scores of Modified Portmann Scoring Standard,House-Brackmann Facial Nerve Function Scale(H-B scale),Facial Disability Index Physical Function(FDIP)and Disability Index Social Function(FDIS)were evaluated after the treatment in the two groups.Results:There were no statistical difference in the score of Modified Portmann Scoring Standard between before and after the treatment in the two groups(P＞0.05).The value of the H-B scale changed to grade Ⅰ was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group after the treatment(P＜0.05).The scores of FDIP and FDIS were higher in the treatment group than those in the control group after the treatment(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Both ST4-to-ST6 lifting and pulling needling and traditional needling have good therapeutic effect in treatment of peripheral facial paralysis,however,ST4-to-ST6 lifting and pulling needling is better than traditional needling.
