title: Electro-acupuncture treatment of acute stage peripheral facial paralysis.
abstract: The treatment of 100 cases of acute stage peripheral facial paralysis with electro-acupuncture has indicated that, with the stimulation intensity and time interval strictly controlled, electro-acupuncture is effective. Suitable wave forms and electric intensity, as well as proper needling techniques and controlled duration of the stimulation according to experimental experience have yielded high therapeutic effects without aggravation of symptoms.
