The relationship between the blood flow of temperal or facial artery and facial skin temperature was studied in 30 patients with facial nerve paralysis. The facial skin temperature was recorded by infrared thermography, and the blood flow was measured by ultrasonic Doppler flowetry. The results showed, in the same facial region, the greater the volume of blood flow was, the higher the skin temperature stood. After acupuncture on the facial points, the facial blood flow increased and the facial skin temperature rose. The ratios between the increase in facial skin temperature and the in increase in blood flow were 0.9538-1.2835(degrees:ml/second) in four facial regions. These indicate the presence of certain quantitative relationship between the facial blood flow and the skin temperature.
