Methods： Sixty-five cases of facial spasm were randomly divided into control group （n = 31 ） and treatment group（n = 34）. Patients of the treatment group were treated with penetrative acupuncture from Qienshencong（前神聪 Extra） to Xuanli（悬厘 GB 6）, Baihui（百会 GV 20） to Qubin（曲鬓 GB 7）, etc., and those of control group treated with acupuncture of Taiyang（太阳 EX-HN 5）, Yengbai（阳白 GB 14）, Quanliao（颧髎 SI 18） and Xiaguan（下关 ST 7）, etc. once daily, 20 sessions altogether. Results. After treatment, of the 31 cases and 34 cases in control and treatment groups, 5 and 12 were cured, 8 and 13 had remarkable improvement, 11 and 8 had improvement, 7 and 1 failed, with the total effective rates being 77.42% and 97.06% respectively; and the therapeutic elfact of treatment group was significantly superior to that of control group（P〈0.01）. Conclusion; Scalp acupurcture has an obvious therapeutic effect for facial spasm.展开更多

Of the 35 cases, 14 were male and 21 female, ranging in age from 19 to 62 years and in the disease duration from 1 week to 21 years. Shallow needling was applied to the surrounding region of Ahshi points (the twitching locus), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3), etc., once daily, 4 weeks altogether. In addition, according to syndrome differentiation, other acupoints as Fengchi (GB 20), Waiguan (TE 5), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), etc. were supplemented. After treatment, out of the 35 cases, 26 (74.3%) were cured, 5 (14.3%) experienced markedly improvement, and the rest 4 (11.4%) cases had a certain degree of amelioration. The key point for treating facial spasm is applying shallow needling around the twitching muscles.展开更多

Methods： Eighty patients with facial spasm were randomized into two groups by the random number table, 40 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by superficial needling at local Ashi points and wrist-ankle acupuncture at the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Upper 3 points; while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. For both groups, the treatment was given once a day, 7 times as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 3 courses. Results： The total effective rate and recovery rate were respectively 97.5% and 57.5% in the observation group versus 85.0% and 37.5% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Superficial needling can produce a more significant efficacy in treating hemifacial spasm than ordinary acupuncture.展开更多
