Overall 87 patients with neuritis of the facial nerve were studied by making
use of methods of acupuncture diagnosis as recommended by Nakatani and
Akabane. The parameters under investigation included the level of
physiologic corridor, left-right asymmetry, the Yang and the Yin meridians
sum ratio, maximum deviation from the physiological corridor in certain
meridians. The results obtained permitted the identification of three groups
of patients depending on the duration of their illness. This permitted the
differentiated approach to the use of laser puncture in these patients
securing good results of treatment which were confirmed by both the positive
dynamics of acupuncture methods of investigation and data supplied by the
electrophysiological techniques (EMG, EEG). With the purpose of performing
laser puncture, the infrared laser puncture apparatus Biomed-001 (wavelength
0.89, average laser emissive power 20 mw) was employed
