Objectives : This study was designed in order to review clinical studies on recurrent facial palsy treatment through Korean Medicine and Western Medicine.
Methods : We used search engines such as KISS, DBpia, OASIS, RISS, Science ON, et al. We limited cases as recurrent facial palsy without intracranial disease. We excluded statistical papers. We considered papers published only after year 2000.
Results : a total of 9 studies were selected. Various treatments such as acupuncture therapy, herbal medicine, Western medicine, physical therapy, moxibustion therapy and facial exercise were practiced for recurrent facial palsy. A summary of the most frequently used treatment methods is as follows. The acupuncture points ST4, ST6 and GB14 were used 7 times. The herbal medicine Glycyrrhiza uralensis FISCH was used 8 times. The Western medicine steroid was used 6 times.
Conclusions : All studies were case report. 7 studies observed patients by House-Brackmann grading system. 10 out of 15 patients improved their facial palsy throughout treatment.
