Abstract: Objective:To study and analyze the clinical effect of electroacupuncture combined with mouse nerve growth factor acupoint injection in treatment of children with peripheral facial paralysis.
Methods:Eighty children treated in Hunan Children's Hospital for peripheral facial paralysis from June 2015 to June 2016 were included as the research subjects, and they were randomly divided into two groups: the observation group and control group, with 40 cases in each group. The children in the control group were treated with electroacupuncture, continuously for 6 days with 1 day rest, 7 days as a treatment course, for 3 courses. The children in the observation group were treated with mouse nerve growth factor acupoint injection in addition to the treatment for control group, 3 time a week as one course, for 3 courses. Before and after treatment, SFGS was used to evaluate the effect.
Results:Before and after treatment, SFGS score had statistical difference within each group(P<0.05). After treatment, the score of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.05). After treatment, some facial nervous functions were improved a lot in both groups, such as mimetic muscle paralysis, facial distortion and air blow and leak. The effect in the observation group was much better than that in the control group with statistical difference(P<0.05).
Conclusion:Electroacupuncture combined with mouse nerve growth factor acupoint injection is better than the conventional acupuncture in the treatment of children with peripheral facial paralysis. It can improve the facial nervous function of children, which is of clinical significance.
