Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Jung-an acupuncture on Bell’s palsy(peripheral facial paralysis) patients.
Methods: We investigated 24 cases of patients with peripheral facial paralysis. The patients were divided into two groups. Both Group A, B were treated with general acupuncture and Group A was added to treatment with Jung-an acupuncture. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group three times by using Yanagihara’s unweighted grading system.
Results: As a result of evaluation by using Yanagihara score, they were not significant scores between two groups after treatment.
Conclusions: Jung-an acupuncture and general Acupuncture has significant effect on acute(before 4weeeks at onset) Bell’s palsy. But there is no statistical significance in Jung-an acupuncture on acute phase(within 4 weeks of onset).
