To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion in peripheral facial paralysis，and to explore the therapeutic value of heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion in peripheral facial paralysis.Methods:A total of 63 patients with peripheral facial paralysis admitted in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January to December 2018 were selected as research objects and randomly divided into heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion group(group A,n=32)and heat-sensitive moxibustion group(group B,n=31).Both groups were treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion and conventional acupuncture:1 time/d,45 min/time,10 d consecutive treatment as 1 course，3 courses of treatment in total，and 1 d interval between each course of treatment.The heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion group received the above treatment and heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion at the same time:1 time/d,2 h/time，10 d consecutive treatment as 1 course，3 courses of treatment in total，and 1 d interval between each course of treatment.After the treatment，clinical symptoms in the 2 groups were evaluated by modified Portmann scoring standard before and after the treatment.Results:The Portamnn scores in the 2 groups after the treatment were significantly higher than those before the treatment(P<001)，and the Portamnn scorein the heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion group after the treatment was higher than that in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group(P<005).The effective rate in the heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion group was 9063%(29/32)，while that in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group was 8339%(26/31).There was statistically significant difference between the 2 groups(P<005).The average healing time in the heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion group was significantly shorter than that in the heat-sensitive moxibustion group，with statistically significant difference(P<005).Conclusion:Heat-sensitive umbilical moxibustion can improve the clinical efficacy in peripheral facial paralysis and shorten the overall course of peripheral facial paralysis.
