Group A was treated by acupuncture and pharmacopuncture on facial&trigemial nerve branch and Cervical acupotomy and group B was treated by acupuncture and pharmacopuncture on routine facial paralysis acupuncture point without acupotomy.
Results: The improvement of Yanagihara’s score in group A is higher than group B during every period. The improvement of VAS score in group A is higher than group B during every period.
Conclusions: These results suggest that cervical acupotomy and acupunture on facial & trigemial nerve branch may be effective for peripheral facial paralysis and postauricular pain.
