Abstract
Objective: Facial nerve palsy causes both facial muscle malfunction and mental illness. Because a facial nerve palsy lesion shows on the face, it can have serious effects on social relationships and mental health. Many facial nerve palsy patients undergo anxiety, depression, and social phobia. In this study, a facial nerve palsy patient with sleep disorder was admitted to the Korean medicine hospital for treatment. Methods: The patient with facial nerve palsy and sleep disorder was treated with herbal medicines, acupuncture, herbal acupuncture therapy, and physical therapy. We used the House Brackmann grading system and Yanagihara's Unweighted Grading System to assess changes in facial nerve palsy symptoms and the Korean Modified Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire to assess the sleep disorder. Results: The patient was hospitalized for 18 days and showed a recovery from both facial nerve palsy and sleep disorder symptoms without any adverse events. We conclude that patients with facial nerve palsy should be treated from both the physical and mental health perspectives.
