Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The objective of this study was to determine whether laser acupuncture therapy could relieve symptoms in patients with traumatic facial paralysis.
Methods:
This study was retrospective study including 174 patients that undergoing traumatic facial paralysis. All the patients received laser acupuncture (LA).
Patients were assigned to the LA 1 month group, LA 3 month group and LA 6 month group, with 58 patients in each group.
Clinical outcome measure comprised the House-Brackmann grading system, Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale (FaCE), Sunnybrook facial grading scale (SBFG), Facial Disability Index (FDI), electroneuronography (ENoG), electromyography (EMG) and Blink reflex

Control group
No interventions assigned to this group
LA 3 month group
Laser acupuncture used a class IV Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser (Mphi laser, ASA Srl, Vicenza, Italy). In LA group, we choose 5 acupoints on the affected side. It includes ST2(Si Bai), ST4(Di Cang), ST6(Jia Che), GB14(Yang Bai), GB20(Feng chi). We choose 6 acupoints, including LI4 (He Gu), LI11(Qu Chi), ST25 (Tian Shu), ST36 (Zu San Li), SP6 (San Yin Jiao), KI3 (Tai Xi), LR3 (Tai Chong).
Laser acupuncture used have wavelength of 808 nm and 905nm, 1.2 W power (808nm is 1 W, 905 nm is 200 mW), continuous mode emission (808 nm) and pulsed mode emission (905 nm), 1500 Hz, 50% power level, 50% duty cycle, 8.35 J/cm2 dosimetry, 26.22 J for each point, 36 times total treatment.
Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser
Laser probe directly contacts with skin of the all the acupoints. The probe was fixed on each point for 1 min. In this study, the laser acupuncture used have wavelength of 808 nm and 905nm, 1.2 W power (808nm is 1 W, 905 nm is 200 mW), continuous mode emission (808 nm) and pulsed mode emission (905 nm)
LA 6 month group
Laser acupuncture used a class IV Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser (Mphi laser, ASA Srl, Vicenza, Italy). In LA group, we choose 5 acupoints on the affected side. It includes ST2(Si Bai), ST4(Di Cang), ST6(Jia Che), GB14(Yang Bai), GB20(Feng chi). We choose 6 acupoints, including LI4 (He Gu), LI11(Qu Chi), ST25 (Tian Shu), ST36 (Zu San Li), SP6 (San Yin Jiao), KI3 (Tai Xi), LR3 (Tai Chong).
Laser acupuncture used have wavelength of 808 nm and 905nm, 1.2 W power (808nm is 1 W, 905 nm is 200 mW), continuous mode emission (808 nm) and pulsed mode emission (905 nm), 1500 Hz, 50% power level, 50% duty cycle, 8.35 J/cm2 dosimetry, 26.22 J for each point, 72 times total treatment.
