Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of cervical Chuna treatment for Bell’s palsy.
Methods : We investigated 30 patients with Bell’s palsy who had visited at Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, of Korean Medicine Hospital Dong-Eui University from June 1st, 2013 to April 15th, 2014. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups. Group A (experimental group) was treated by Korean-Western combination treatment with Cervical Chuna treatment and group B (control group) was treated by Korean-Western combination treatment without it. The cervical Chuna treatment was done twice a week, for a total of 8 times. We evaluated the change of each group by using Yanagihara’s unweighed grading system.
Results : Yanagihara’s score in group A was significantly improved during each period from the first visit to four weeks later. However, Yanagihara’s score in group B was significantly improved except during first week. The improvement of Yanagihara’s score in group A is higher than group B during every period. And significant differences were shown after two weeks from the first visit between the two groups.
Conclusions : These results suggest that cervical Chuna treatment may be effective for Bell’s palsy.
