Clinical Observation on 25 Facial Spasm Patients Treated with Subcutaneous Catgut-embedding in Acupoints
Objective To search for the best method of improving clinical therapeutic effect of facial spasm.Methods The selected 76 cases of facial spasm were randomized into a subcutaneous catgut-embedding group(25 cases)
an electroacupuncture control group(26 cases)and a carbamazepine control group(25 cases).Yingxiang(LI 20)

and Ashi(trigger point)were selected for catgut-embedding.The 5-0 medical catgut was embedded subcutaneously once a week.The same points were used for the electroacupuncture control group.The 1.5 cun needles were inserted.After arrival of qi
the electroacupuncture apparatus was used

bearable intensity
30 minutes
once a day.The carbamazepine control group was treated with carbamazepine 0.1g
three times a day.The therapeutic effect was evaluated by the changes of severity and frequency of facial spasm.Results The severity and frequency of facial spasm significantly decreased in the subcutaneous catgut-embedding group
the difference was significant as compared with the other two groups(P<0.01).Conclusion The subcutaneous catgut-embedding treatment is a good method and effective in improving the therapeutic effect of facial spasm.
