Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of combining auricular and routine acupuncture for peripheral facial paralysis in acute stage.

Methods: A total of 60 eligible cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n＝30) and a control group (n＝30). Cases in treatment group received auricular and routine acupuncture, whereas cases in the control group received routine acupuncture alone. Both groups were treated for 10 d.

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.
