Methods Sixty inpatients with peripheral facial neuritis were randomly divided into two groups： observation group （Taiji needling group, n=30） and control group （conventional acupuncture group, n=30）; the treatment was conducted once a day, which was not stopped until the patients were discharged from hospital after recovery. The curative effect was evaluated before and after treatment by applying the therapeutic outcome rating scale of peripheral facial neuritis （portmann scale）. Results The improve merit of efficacy indices in the observation group was superior to that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant （P〈0.05）; the course of treatment was shortened in the observation group compared with the control group, and the difference was also statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion The efficacy index of Taiji needling in treatment of peripheral facial neuritis is superior to that of conventional acupuncture, and Taiji needling can obviously shorten the course of treatment.展开更多
