Undead Paralysis: How To Cure?

First Post
Been years since I played 1st Edition and just learning 3rd edition, and am wondering now how exactly do you cure paralysis in either the 1st edition game or the 3rd edition d20 AD&D? For the life of me I can't find a spell or entry in any MM or DMG

SRD:
Remove Paralysis
Conjuration (Healing)
Level: Clr 2, Pal 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets: Up to four creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
You can free one or more creatures from the effects of any temporary paralysis or related magic, including a ghoul’s touch or a slow spell. If the spell is cast on one creature, the paralysis is negated. If cast on two creatures, each receives another save with a +4 resistance bonus against the effect that afflicts it. If cast on three or four creatures, each receives another save with a +2 resistance bonus.
The spell does not restore ability scores reduced by penalties, damage, or drain.
 

If it's a Supernatural ability, a spell-like ability, or a spell, break enchantment should end it, and Antimagic Field should suppress it. If it's a spell-like ability or a spell, dispel magic should end it. If it's caused by a poison, Remove Poison will do the trick, unless it did ability drain to your dex. And as Scion mentioned Remove Paralysis will always work unless the paralysis is caused by ability damage/drain from you dexterity.
 

For ghouls and ghasts, you could just wait for the paralysis to wear off:

Paralysis (Ex): Those hit by a ghoul’s bite or claw attack must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Elves have immunity to this paralysis. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Liches need special magic, though:

Paralyzing Touch (Su): Any living creature a lich hits with its touch attack must succeed on a Fortitude save or be permanently paralyzed. Remove paralysis or any spell that can remove a curse can free the victim (see the bestow curse spell description).
