Results

The recovery rate was 73.3% in the treatment group and 53.3% in the control group, showing a statistical difference (P<0.05).

Conclusion

Combining auricular and routine acupuncture is effective for peripheral facial paralysis in acute stage and has a better effect than routine acupuncture.
