Treatment of peripheral facial paralysis with acupuncture at Rényíng ( ST 9) combined with stellate ganglion block: a randomized controlled trial

Compared with the conventional acupuncture, the efficacy on peripheral facial paralysis is much better in the Rányíng ( ST 9) acupuncture group and the operation + acupuncture group. Moreover, the early reflex function of the damaged facial nerve is much better recovered in the operation + acupuncture group as compared with that in the Rányíng ( ST 9) acupuncture group.
