Objective.
To explore the status of electroacupuncture (EA) among other treatments for peripheral facial paralysis (PFP).
Methods.
Randomized controlled trials comparing EA with other treatments that met the eligibility criteria published in databases were included.
The differences were observed and quantified through the risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and the standardized mean difference (SMD) for continuous outcomes.
Then, their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were recorded.
Results.
Twenty-three studies involving 1985 participants were included.
META-analysis results showed that EA was better than manual acupuncture for PFP (RR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.22, for responding rate; SMD: 2.26, 95% CI 0.15 to 4.37, for facial nerve function) and current promoted recovery (RR: 1.21, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.27, for responding rate; SMD: 2.87, 95% CI 1.16 to 4.58, for facial nerve function).
When combined with other treatments, EA improved their effectiveness (RR: 1.19, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.28, responding rate; SMD: 1.85, 95% CI 0.67 to 3.03, facial nerve function).
Conclusion.
Patients with PFP received EA (used separately or combined with other treatments) resulting in a better prognosis.
However, the quality of evidence was very low-to-moderate.
Considering the poor quality of evidence, we are not very confident in the results.
We look forward to more research and update results in the future and improve the evidence quality.
