Conslusion:This results indicated that oriental medical treatment with Ko-bang(ͯ۰) can be an effective way to treat facial paralysis. The more patients we treat with Ko-bang(ͯ۰), the more clinical report is accumulated. Then it would be helpful to map out a systematic treatment on facial paralysis.
