|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to find out proper method for clinical application of acupoints in Bell’s palsy patients by using of digital infrared thermographic imaging(DITI).
Methods : We investigated 44 cases of patients with Bell’s palsy and checked thermal differences between abnormal and normal acupoint sites by using of DITI. Then we drew a comparison between acupoints of DITI and HBGS, ENoG, NET. We used Pearson’s correlation for statistical analysis.
Results : The HBGS was significantly correlated with ENoG, NET. The thermal difference of ST3 was significantly correlated with HBGS, Lip and Buccal abnormal site of NET. And the thermal differences between ST3 and GB21 were significantly correlated with ENoG, Forehead abnormal site of NET.
Conclusions : Severity of Bell’s palsy can be evaluated through DITI.
