title: [The combination of reflexotherapy and homeopathy in treating patients with facial nerve neuropathy].
abstract: Used in a multiple-modality treatment of 103 patients presenting with facial nerve neuropathy were infrared laser puncture and homeopathy. The former treatments were administered with the aid of the apparatus [symbol: see text] 001 at wave-length 890 nm, average power 15 mW/cm2. Homeopathy therapy was with those drug preparations meant to deal with constitutional and symptomatic problems. As many as 103 patients with facial nerve neuropathy derived apparent benefit from treatment, which fact was confirmed by electrophysiological findings as was by those from acupuncture diagnosis techniques.
