Abstract

|
The purpose of this report was to show that the oriental medical treatment is effective on recurrent bell’s palsy. We investigated 1 patient with recurrent bell’s palsy who was a case of recurrent ipsilateral bell’s palsy with four distinct episodes over the past 11 years. As a treatment, Ligigepung-san(Liqiqufeng-san), Acupuncture, and Moxa were tried upon the patient for 40 days in order to relieve the symptom of palsy. In terms of observing the changes of symptoms, the progress of patient’s condition was evaluated periodically by using the House-Brackamnn’s grading system. In accordance with the observation under House-Brackamann’s grading system, the patient’s facial nerve palsy had gradually improved throughout the treatment. Therefore, this report suggests that Ligigepung-san (Liqiqufeng-sa n), Acupuncture, and Moxa are probably effective in the treatment of recurrent Bell’s palsy.
