| Popis: | Objective To observe the effects of a protocol consisting of warm needling with moxibustion at Xiaguān ( ST 7) plus shallow puncture on Bell's palsy (BP) in pregnancy. Methods Thirteen patients with BP received an intervention of warm needling moxibustion at ST 7 plus shallow puncture, and were evaluated using the House–Brackmann facial nerve grading system (HB) before and after intervention. Result After intervention, the HB grade improved significantly ( P Conclusion Warm needling moxibustion plus shallow puncture is a safe and effective therapy for pregnant BP patients. BP in pregnancy appears to be more frequent in the last trimester. The severity of nerve injury and the timing for the first visit to the doctor after the onset of facial paralysis are essential factors for the recovery and prognosis of pregnant with BP. |
