Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of needling acupoint Zhongzhu (TE3) in treating retroauricular pain in peripheral facial paralysis at acute stage. Method A hundred and fifty patients were randomized into three groups, 50 in each. The treatment group received acupuncture at bilateral Zhongzhu (TE3); the acupuncture group received acupuncture with ordinary point selection; the medication group was prescribed with orally taken Prednisone. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was adopted in evaluating the real-time pain-relief effect, and the pain-relief time was also observed. Result The analgesic effects in the treatment group at the real-time, 20 mmn, and 1 h were significantly superior to that in the acupuncture group (P<0.05). Regarding the pain-relief time in the three groups, the cases with pain relieved in less 7 d of the treatment group were markedly more than that of the acupuncture and medication groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture at Zhongzhu has significant effect in treating retroauricular pain in peripheral facial paralysis at acute stage.
