|
Objectives: We investigate the characteristics of foot reflex zone acupoint of facial paralysis patients.
Methods: In order to make a comparison between facial nerve paralysis patient group and non-facial paralysis group, we measured foot reflex zone acupoint detection in both group of 18 patients who were diagnosticated to facial nerve paralysis and 18 persons who were not.
Results: 1. In comparing the means of the foot reflex zone, the measurements of facial nerve paralysis group is different significantly from non-facial paralysis group(p<0.05). 2. The measurement of detection of foot reflex zone acupoints, such as hypophysis(á÷ô÷), nose(Þ¬), cerebrum(ÓÞÒà), neck(Ìòú£), Trapezius muscle(ã¬Ù¶ÐÉ), eye(äÑ) and ear(ì¼) of the facial nerve paralysis group is different significantly in comparison with non-facial paralysis group(p<0.05). But the measurement of detection of foot reflex zone acupoints, such as trigeminal nerve(ß²ó©ãêÌè), cerebellum(á³Òà), kidney(ãì), ureter(âÃÒãη) and urinary bladder(Û¹ÎÍ) of the facial nerve paralysis group is not defferent significantly in comparison with non-facial paralysis group(p>0.05).
Conclusions: The results suggest that foot reflex zone can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of facial nerve paralysis.
