|
|
Objectives: This study was performed to report two cases of improved hemifacial spasm by herbal remedy and moxa-treatment.
Methods: This study calendered the improvements of symptoms of two patients with hemifacial spasm who visited the author’s clinic. Ukgansangamibang(抑肝散加味方) and moxa-treatment on chung-wan(CV12) were prescribed to the patients concerned due to their antipathy against acupuncture treatment.
Results: Significant improvements were observered from both patients not only for hemifacial spasm but neuropsychosis-related symptoms
Conclusion: The study shows remarkable results of the efficacy of herb remedy and moxa-treatment, for the treatment of hemifacial spasm , however the cases investigated in this study were only two(2). Therefore, more studies should be followed to support the efficacy of Oriental Medicine for the treatment of hemifacial spasm.
