ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of heat-sensitive moxibustion and ginger-partition moxibustion on refractory peripheral facial paralysis.

For two cases dropped out during the treatment, a total of 25 cases were finally enrolled into the ginger-partition moxibustion group. Two groups received oral use of mecobalamin tablets and conventional acupuncture, and heat-sensitive moxibustion group was given heat-sensitive moxibustion and ginger-partition moxibustion group was given ginger-partition moxibustion additionally. The moxibustion was performed once a day and ten times constituted one course, the treatment covered 6 courses. The clinical effect of the two groups was evaluated by 40-score method, House-Brackmann facial neurological function evaluation standard, blink reflex ( BR) , electromyogram and electroneurography.
