Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The aims of this study are to find out proper methods to assess Bell’s palsy with DITI and to validate the correlation between DITI of acupoints and H-B scale.
Methods:36 Bell’s palsy patients and 10 health people were measured. We checked thermal differences between abnormal and normal acupoints sites measured by using DITI and H-B scale.
Results: There was no significant thermal difference between abnormal and normal sites. The H-B scale was significantly correlated with thermal differences of ST6 and TE17.
Conclusion: DITI was useful for evaluating the severity of Bell’s palsy.
