Application of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of senile peripheral facial paralysis
针灸治疗老年周围性面瘫的应用

摘要

目的 探讨针灸治疗老年周围性面瘫的应用。方法 采用回顾性分析法，选取2019年10月－2020年10月期间我院收治的老年面瘫患者30例作为研究对象，按照随机数字表法将其分为对照组和实验组，对照组患者15例，实验组患者15例，对照组患者采用常规治疗，实验组患者则采用针灸治疗，比较两组总治疗有效率、治疗前后的面神经潜伏期以及面神经波。结果 治疗后，实验组患者总治疗有效率显著高于对照组，两组患者面神经潜伏期和面神经波幅均有明显改善，但实验组患者改善程度优于对照组，有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。结论 相较于常规的治疗方式，中医针灸治疗老年周围性面瘫的临床疗效更为显著，可促进患者康复。

Abstract

Objective To explore the application of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of senile peripheral facial paralysis.
Methods Using a retrospective analysis method, 30 elderly patients with facial paralysis who were treated in our hospital from October 2019 to October 2020 were selected as the research objects, and they were divided into the control group and the experimental group according to the random number table method, and 15 patients in the control group , 15 patients in the experimental group, the control group were treated with conventional treatment, and the experimental group was treated with acupuncture. The total treatment efficiency, facial nerve latency and facial nerve wave before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.
Results After treatment, the total effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group. The facial nerve latency and facial nerve amplitude were significantly improved in both groups, but the improvement in the experimental group was better than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). ).
Conclusion   Compared with conventional treatment methods, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and moxibustion have more significant clinical efficacy in the treatment of senile peripheral facial paralysis, and can promote the recovery of patients.
