Abstract
Based on the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of peripheral facial paralysis (PFP), this paper presents a new method of PFP. According to facial nerve distribution and innervation of the muscle, 10 points were selected and the intermittent wave of electro-acupuncture was performed for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. It is speculated that the possible mechanism of action is mainly dependent on the regulation of neuroendocrine system.
