Objectives:This study was to compare effects of scalp acupuncture with usual acupuncture on peripheral facial palsy in comparison with usual acupuncture only.
Methods: We investigated 40 cases of patients with peripheral facial palsy, and devided patients into two groups: We treated one group by scalp acupuncture with usual acupuncture and did the other group by usual acupuncture only. To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment applied for two groups, we used Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann(H-B grade), Yanagihara’s Unweighed Grading System(Y system).
Results: 1. In H-B grade group B(common acupuncture therapy and scalp acupuncture)’s score was reduced than group A(common acupuncture therapy), but there was no statistical significance. 2. In Y-system group B was higher than group A, but there was no statistical significance.
Conclusions: There was no stastical significance between two groups : treated by scalp acupuncture with usual acupuncture and usual acupuncture therapy only, on peripheral facial palsy.
