Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effects of Muscle Energy Technique(MET) for peripheral facial paralysis.
Methods: 60 Patients were divided into two groups. Group A(n=30) received the treatment with existing Korean medicine. Group B(n=30) received the MET with existing Korean medicine. It was performed once a day, five time per a week for three weeks. we analyzed Yanagihara's score and House－Brackmann scale.
Results: A week after MET treatment, Yanagihara’s score average of Group A is 7.17±6.34. Yanagihara’s score average of Group B is 8.84±5.22. (p=0.72). Two weeks after MET, Yanagihara’s score average of Group A is 12.39±4.94. Yanagihara’s score average of Group B is 15.12±3.20. (p=0.04). Three weeks after MET, Yanagihara’s score average of Group A is 17.11±5.31. Yanagihara’s score average of Group B is 22.78±3.67. (p=0.01). A is 3.87±1.36. House-Brackmann Scale average of Group B is 3.64±1.76. (p=0.63). Two weeks after MET treatment, House-Brackmann Scale average of Group A is 3.20±0.97. House-Brackmann Scale average of Group B is 3.02±1.03. (p=0.05). Three weeks after MET, House-Brackmann Scale average of Group A is 2.84±1.12. House-Brackmann Scale average of Group B is 2.23±0.78. (p=0.04).
Conclusion: MET treatment is effective for improve the symptoms of peripheral facial paralysis. Therefore, it will be used to peripheral facial paralysis.
