Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the release of chemicals from the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) into the muscles, spinal cord and brain. The aim of the study was to present acupuncture treatment in peripheral facial paresis. A total of 176 patients with peripheral facial palsy were divided into two groups: 128 patients treated with acupuncture and 48 patients treated with conservative therapy. The choice of acupuncture points, their number and power of electromagnetic stimuli depended on clinical features exhibited by the patients. Study results indicated acupuncture therapy to be associated with a shorter duration of treatment and higher percentage of full recovery as compared with medicamentous plus physical therapy. |
