The clinical data and thermographic imaging were analyzed on the 100 cases of Bell's palsy who were treated in the Kwang-Ju Oriental Medical Hospita! of Wonkwang University from February to October 1997. All the cases were taken Digital Infrared Thermograph Imaging(DITI) before treatment and 30 cases of them were taken follow up imaging again after recovery. And the following results were obtained. 1. Of 100 cases, under teenager occupied 1% teenager 8% 2nd decade 14% 3rd decade 11% 4th decade 16%, 5th decade 26%, 6th decade 16% 7th decade 7% and over 80 occupied 1% 2. Male occupied 48 % and female occupied 52%. 3. 42% o male and 23% of female had the affected side at left side. And right facial nerve palsy occured at 29 % o male and 29% of female. 4. The most common cause of Bell's palsy was cold wind 18% and the next were excessive labor 15% stress 12% drinking 2% and cold food 1%. 5. Thermal pattern were present as hyperthermal pattern in 44% and hypothermal pattern in 22 %. 6. The DITI showed hyperthermal pattern as close as to the onset day and changes to hypothermal pattern as times passed. 7. The DITI pattern and post-auricular pain, the most common prodomal syndrome, showed no significant relationship. 8. The relationship between the grade of paralysis and thermal patttern of DITI showed no significance. 9. Mean temperature of loci in affected side indicrtted 30.27f7℃ a Yang baek 30.02℃ at Taeyang, 29.25℃ at Geoyo, 29.62℃ at Jichang, 9.78f℃a Hakwan 29.61℃ at Hyupgeo and 30.59^℃ at Yeopoong. 10. Mean temperature of loci in unaffected side showed 30.16℃at Yang baek 30.02℃ at Taeyang 29.61℃ a Geoyo 29.68℃at Jichang 29.70℃atHakwan29.57e℃ at Hyupgeo and 29.89℃at Yeopoong. 11. Of 30 cases who were taken follow up imaging again after recovery, the relationship between delta T at loci and symptoms showed no significance. It should be needed further investigation in order to apply them for clinical evaluation.
