Peripheral Facial Paralysis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Study on the End Time of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy for Peripheral Facial Paralysis: Randomized Controlled Trial
Bell's palsy itself has a certain self-healing tendency. Therefore, it is recommended to leave a bit of Bell's palsy for self-recovery without treatment. If complete recovery is achieved after treatment, complications such as stiffness, contracture and even hemifacial inversion may occur as time moves. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the optimal end time of acupuncture for facial paralysis.
This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled study, with a total of 120 eligible patients randomly divided into an observation group (n=60) and a control group (n=60). Both groups received facial acupuncture combined with infrared irradiation treatment, once a day,10 times as a course, and the next course of treatment will be carried out after a 5-day rest.The treatment duration for both groups will not exceed three months, with the observation group aiming for a Sunnybrook score of ≥83 and the control group aiming for a score≥95. The primary outcome measure is Sunnybrook scores at 6 months after onset compared with baseline. Secondary outcome measures included Sunnybrook Scores, electroneurography, blink reflex, Facial Disability Index, Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. ;
