摘要

此位39歲女性患者，病人主訴右側臉麻約兩週。本身患有糖尿病已5年，服西藥控制。病人於92年8月1日突發右側臉麻，右眼無法閉合，西醫診斷爲顔面神經麻痺。期間服西醫消炎止痛藥約一週，但仍覺臉麻無改善，而且疼痛感出現。之後疼痛加劇，甚至影響睡眠，經由針灸治療一個療程後得到不錯的療效，讓病人能夠比西醫文獻上療程1個月更恢復迅速。此外於療程中發現翳風穴應爲治療顔面神經麻痺必取之穴道。

A 39 year old female patient reported that the right side of her face felt numb for about 2 weeks. The patient has had diabetes for 5 years and was taking western medicines to treat it. On August 1, 2003 the right side of the patient's face suddenly felt numb and she was unable to close her right eye. The western medical diagnosis was facial paralysis. After taking anti-inflammatories and analgesics for about one week she felt no improvement and even began to feel pain. Thereafter the pain got worse and even affected her sleep. The patient experienced positive results after receiving a course of acupuncture treatment. After one course of treatment the degree of recovery was about a month ahead of what is expected after one course of western treatment. In addition, in the course of treatment it was discovered that TB-17 (yi feng) is the point of choice for the treatment of facial paralysis.
