Effect of warm needling therapy and acupuncture in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis☆

ConclusionThe results of this meta-analysis showed that warm needling therapy is superior to acupuncture in treating peripheral facial paralysis, providing a therapeutic option for the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. However, due to the small sample size and the low quality of the included studies, the above conclusion still needs to be validated with high-quality, large-scale, randomized, blinded controlled trials.
