    ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effects of the Hua Tuo Manual Acupuncture Therapeutic Stimulator for peripheral facial paralysis.Methods87 patients with peripheral facial paralysis were divided randomly into the SXDZ-100 Nerve and Muscle Stimulator treatment group (44 cases) and the G6805 Electric Stimulator control group (43 cases). The acupoints selected for both the two groups were local points as well as distal points as Hegu (LI 4), Waiguan (TE 5), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taichong (LR 3). Effectiveness was compared between the two groups.ResultsBoth groups had a total effective rate of 100%. But the cure rate was 90.9% in the treatment group, and 73.0% in the control group, indicating a significant difference (P < 0.05). No side effects were found in either of the two groups.ConclusionThe SXDZ-100 stimulator is more effective than the G6805 electroacupuncture stimulator for treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.
