Objectives: This study was performed to confirm the effectiveness of East-West collaborative hospital treatment on the prognosis of Bell’s palsy.
Methods: We screened patients who visited the Facial Palsy Center in Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital at Gangdong between June 2006 and June 2014 by inclusion/exclusion criteria We reviewed the medical records of 270 patients, including demographics and results of electromyography. We tried to compare the recovery rate of Bell’s palsy in the medical records with that of the previous study by calculating the odds ratio after 2, 3 and 6 months from the onset.
Results: The odds ratio between our data and that from the previous study after 6 months from the onset was 4 899. Additionally, the odds ratios after 2 and 3 months from the onset were 1.471 and 2.054, respectively. All the odds ratios showed statistical significance.
Conclusions: East-West collaborative hospital treatment showed significant effectiveness on the prognosis of Bell’s palsy.
