| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To observe the facial expressions of patients with facial paralysis（wind-cold attacking collaterals syndrome） treated with Chaihu Guizhi Decoction combined with Huolong cupping，analyze the elasticity of facial expression muscles，and explore its impact on social function. [Methods] From January 2021 to July 2023，120 patients with facial paralysis admitted to our hospital were randomly separated into the experimental group of 60 cases and control group of 60 cases. The control group was treated with Huolong cupping，while the experimental group was treated with Chaihu Guizhi Decoction based on the control group. Continuous treatment for 14 days. After treatment，the changes in clinical efficacy，traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score，elastic modulus value，facial nerve function，and social function were compared between the two groups. [Results] AAfter treatment，the total effective rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group（χ2=5.065，P=0.024）. After treatment，the scores of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes，elastic modulus values of various facial muscles，facial nerve function，and facial disability index（FDI） scores in both groups were improved（P<0.05）. [Conclusion] Chaihu Guizhi Decoction combined with Huolong cupping has a good therapeutic effect on patients with facial paralysis. It can unblock meridians，adjust qi and blood，effectively ameliorate clinical symptoms and social function，and have a better safety. |
