Abstract: Objective To observe the clinical effect of acupoint bloodletting combined with muscle-function-grouping electroacupuncture in treatment of facial neuritis. Methods Totally 160 patients with facial neuritis admitted to our hospital from January 2013 to March 2016 were randomly divided into experimental group (n=80) and control group (n=80). There was no significant difference in gender, age, and course of disease between the two groups (all P> 0.05). Patients in experimental group were treated with acupoint bloodletting and muscle-function-grouping electroacupuncture, while the control group was treated with traditional acupuncture with electroacupuncture method only. The clinical effects of the two groups were evaluated. Results The facial neuritis symptoms in the experimental group recovered quickly and completely, and the cure rate (82.5% vs 37.5%) and effective rate (97.5% vs 77.5%) were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P< 0.01). Conclusion Acupoint bloodletting combined with muscle-function-grouping electroacupuncture can significantly shorten the course of the disease with complete recovery for facial neuritis.
