Clinical Study on the End Time of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapy for Peripheral Facial Paralysis
Sponsor: Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University
Summary
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.
