Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the effect of Needle -Embedding Therapy in peripheral facial paralysis.
Methods : We investigated 12 patients with peripheral facial paralysis. The patients were treated by basic oriental medicine treatment. Especially Needle-Embedding Therapy was added. We evaluated the effect of Needle-Embedding Therapy by using Yanagihara’s unweighted grading system from baseline to final.
Results : 1. The final Yanagihara’s scores were higher than those of baseline. 2. The longer Needle Embedding Therapy period and the higher the number of the therapy repeated, the greater the effectiveness of the therapy.
Conclusions : 1. Needle-Embedding Therapy was efficacious in peripheral facial paralysis. 2. Further studies will be required to identify the beneficial effect of Needle- Embedding Therapy in peripheral facial paralysis.
