| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the clinical efficacy of Qiaoweiyang acupuncture combined with taping therapy in the treatment of wind-cold type idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis and its influence on the levels of serum IL-6 and TNF-α. [Methods] A total of 120 patients with wind-cold type idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis were randomly divided into a control group and an acupuncture-taping group. Both groups received basic treatment（hormones，neurotrophic agents，antiviral drugs and rehabilitation training）and Qiaoweiyang acupuncture，while the acupuncture-taping group was additionally given taping therapy，with a course of 3 weeks. The h-b grading，facial disability index（FDI）scores，traditional chinese medicine（TCM）symptom scores and serum IL-6，TNF-α levels of the two groups before and after treatment were compared to evaluate the curative effect and record adverse reactions. [Results] Comparison of clinical efficacy between the two groups：the effective rate of the acupuncture-taping group reached 89.83%，and that of the control group was 74.14%，indicating that the curative effect of the acupuncture-taping group was significantly better than that of the control group（P<0.05）. Changes of scale scores in the two groups：after treatment，the H-B grading of both groups decreased，and the FDI scores（functional and psychosocial）increased；there were statistically significant differences in the intra-group comparisons before and after treatment（P<0.05）. After treatment，the H-B grading of the acupuncture-taping group was lower，and the improvement of FDI scores was greater，with statistically significant differences between the two groups（P<0.05），suggesting that the acupuncture-taping group had more advantages in improving facial nerve function and the degree of facial disability. After treatment，the serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels of both groups decreased，with statistically significant differences in intra-group comparisons（P<0.05）. The decrease in the acupuncture-taping group was more significant，and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups（P<0.05）. The more obvious the decrease of inflammatory factor levels，the better the curative effect，suggesting a negative correlation between inflammatory factors and curative effect. Safety evaluation：the adverse reactions of both groups were mild，and did not affect subsequent treatment after treatment. [Conclusion] Qiaoweiyang acupuncture combined with taping therapy can significantly improve the clinical efficacy in the treatment of wind-cold type idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis，which can more effectively reduce H-B grading，increase facial FDI scores，and significantly decrease the levels of serum IL-6，TNF-α and other inflammatory factors. This combined scheme can effectively improve the facial nerve function and clinical symptoms of patients，shorten the treatment course，with mild adverse reactions and good safety. |
