Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The aim of this report was to investigate the effects of Korean medical treatment on facial nerve paralysis with sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus caused by traumatic temporal bone fracture.
Methods : We treated a patient with acupuncture, herbal medicine and physiotherapy. The effect of these treatments was evaluated by House-Brackmann facial grading scale, Yanagihara's unweighted grading system and by Digital Infrared Thermographic Image.
Results : After 21 days of Korean medical treatment, House-Brackmann facial grading scale changed from III to II and Yanagihara's unweighted grading score increased from 14 to 27. Digital Infrared Thermographic Image also improved.
Conclusions : These results suggest that Korean medical treatments were effective in treating facial nerve paralysis with
sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus caused by traumatic temporal bone fracture. We hope that a more efficient application of this treatment will be the result of clinical data accumulated in future studies.
