AB  - OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation of the electric excitability treated with 
      electroacupuncture (EA) at different acupoints and the prognosis of Bell's palsy, 
      using the Logistic regression analysis. METHODS: A total of 93 patients of Bell's 
      palsy were collected in the retrospective analysis. Acupuncture was applied to 
      Cuanzu (BL 2), Yangbai (GB 14), Yingxiang (LI 20), Dicang (ST 4), Xiaguan (ST 7) 
      and Qianzheng (Extra point) on the affected side. The electric stimulation was 
      added at the three pairs of points, named Cuanzu (BL 2) and Yangbai (GB 14) (A 
      group), Yingxiang (LI 20) and Dicang (ST 4) (B group) and Qianzheng (Extra point) 
      and Xiaguan (ST 7) (C group), continue wave, 1 Hz at current frequency, for 30 
      min in one treatment. EA was given once every two days. The endpoint outcome 
      evaluation was conducted when the facial nerve function was recovered completely 
      after treatment or in 16 weeks after onset. On the 8th day of onset, the 
      prognosis-related indexes were collected, such as the electric excitability grade 
      in the A, B and C groups, gender, age, the facial nerve lesion segment and type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The Logistic regression analysis was conducted on these 
      indexes and the prognosis. RESULTS: The single factor Logistic regression 
      analysis showed that the gender, age and the electric excitability of the C group 
      were negatively correlated with the prognosis statistically (P>0.05). T2DM, the 
      facial nerve lesion segment and the electric excitability of the A and B groups 
      were positively correlated with the prognosis statistically (P<0.05). The 
      multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that the electric 
      excitability in the A and B groups was the independent predictor of Bell's palsy 
      prognosis (P<0.05). OR values were 8.410 (1.176-60.113) and 12.589 
      (1.355-116.922) respectively. CONCLUSION: The electric excitability of EA at the 
      pairs of Cuanzu (BL 2) and Yangbai (GB 14), and of Yingxiang (LI 20) and Dicang 
      (ST 4) is one of the indexes for the prognosis evaluation of Bell's palsy. It 
      contributes to the early identification of the severity of facial nerve lesion, 
      the regulation of the therapeutic regimen and the improvement of the clinical 
      effects.
