Adding electro-acupuncture (EA) to usual care results in better clinical outcomes in the management of Bell’s palsy, Turkish clinicians report. A total of 88 patients with Bell’s palsy received standard treatments (ST) or standard treatment plus EA (ST-EA). Application of ST-EA was associated with greater improvement in nerve function, a bigger decrease in paralysis severity, and better function recovery.
