Objectives:The aim of this study was to analyze case reports on and to study Korean medicine treatments of facial palsy.
Methods:Studies published after 2000 were selected by searching for the terms ¡°facial palsy¡± and ¡°Guanwasa¡± in four databases and case reports using Korean medicine moderating variables were extracted by two individual researchers.
Results:The House Brackmann (H-B) Scale (23 times, 65.7%), and Yanagihara Grading Scale (Y-system) (22 times, 62.8%) were used to assess facial palsy. All case reports used acupuncture, while 19 case reports (51.3%) used electro-acupuncture, and 8 case reports (21.6%) used pharmacopuncture. Main meridian points used were ST6, ST4, GB14, TE23, LI20, BL2. Thirty-two case reports used herbal medicine (86.4%) and both Ligigeo-poong-san, Bojunglkgi-tang were used frequently.
Conclusion:To treat facial palsy, acupuncture was mainly used in conjunction with electro-acupuncture and pharmacopuncture. Most case reports also used herbal medicine.
