Purpose: The purpose of study was to determine the effects of muscle reeducation training in patients with acute facial nerve paralysis. Methods: Thirty patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n=15) or the control group (n=15). The experimental group received muscle reeducation training for 20 minutes after electrotherapy and the control group received conventional electrotherapy for only 40 minutes. Therapeutic intervention for each group was performed four times per week for four weeks. The patients were measured for recovery of paralysis using the House-Brackmann Grading System (H-B grade), the Movement Distance of Mouth, Nasolabial Angle (NA), and Facial Disability Index (FDI). Results: In within group comparison, the experimental group showed significant improvements for all variables (p<0.01). In comparison between two groups, the experimental group showed relatively greater significant improvements for all variables (p<0.01). Conclusion: These findings suggest that muscle reeducation training is more effective than conventional therapy in improving the condition of patients with facial nerve paralysis. In particular, the results of this study indicate that muscle reeducation training can be recommended by clinicians since it provides more benefits.

Objectives : This study was to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on symptoms of peripheral facial paralysis. Methods : We investigated 34 cases of patients with Peripheral Facial Paralysis. We flip a coin and divide into two groups. Electroacupuncture was performed at one group, and the other group didn't do it. we evaluated the treatment effect of each group by using Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann, Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System. Results : 1. In Pain back of the ear, we found that two groups have no significant differences. 2. As a result of evaluation by using Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann, Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System, treatment score after 2weeks was marked higher than that before treatment and treatment score after 4weeks treatment was higher than treatment score after 2weeks within each group. 3. After 4weeks treatment, electroacupuncture group showed significant difference on Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann, Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System compared with acupuncture group. Conclusion : These results suggested that electroacupuncture treatment should be more effective in the patient with peripheral facial paralysis.

Objectives : This study was to compare the effect of electroacupuncture therapy on peripheral facial paralysis according to the wave forms. Methods : We investigated 56 cases of inpatients with Peripheral Facial Paralysis, and divided them into two groups, One group was treated by electroacupuncture on interrupted wave, and the other was treated by electroacupuncture on dense-dispersed wave. We evaluated the effect of electroacupuncture in each group by using Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann and Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System. Results : 1. In the interrupted wave and the dense-dispersed wave, compared with baseline, at final, Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann was significantly decreased and Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System was significantly increased. 2. At final, Interrupted wave showed significant decrease on the Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann and significant increase on Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System compared with dense-dispersed wave. Conclusions : These results suggested that interrupted wave should be more useful for improving symptoms related with peripheral facial paralysis than dense-dispersed wave.

Purpose: This study identifies the effects of meridian massage on relieving facial paralysis, pain, and anxiety in Bell's palsy patients. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre-test/post-test design was used for the study. The subjects were 51 Bell's palsy patients (experimental group=26, control group=25) of D University's oriental medicine hospital. The experimental group received a meridian massage for 20 min three times a week for two weeks. The data were analyzed with the following methods by using the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program: $x^2$-test, Fisher's exact test, and t-test. Results: The facial paralysis scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The pain and anxiety scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusions: The results suggest that meridian massage (applied by nurses) has beneficial effects on facial paralysis, pain, and anxiety in patients suffering from Bell's palsy. Thus, meridian massage is recommended as an alternative nursing intervention program for patients with Bell's palsy.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise on the Recovery from Facial Paralysis, pain and anxiety in patients with Bell's palsy. Methods: A nonequivalent control group posttest-only non-synchronized design was used for this study. Participants were contacted at the oriental medicine ward of D hospital in Busan and assigned to either the experimental group (25) or control group (25). Collected data were analyzed for changes in recovery from facial paralysis, in pain and in anxiety between pre and post Doin Gigong Exercise. Data analysis was done using t-test, Fisher's exact test, $x^2-test$ with the SPSS 12.0 Win program. Results: There were significant decreases in the lip paralysis status pain and in anxiety between pre and post Doin Gigong Exercise. Conclusion: The results indicate that Doin Gigong Exercise is effective for patients with Bell's palsy to decrease lip paralysis, pain and anxiety and therefore, an effective intervention for use with patients with Bell's palsy.

Facial nerve paralysis following delayed complication after trauma was rare and hard to find reason After symptom of facial nerve paralysis was found, careful clinical and neuropathic investigation needed through electromyography and nerve conduction velocity. It is necessery to Hewing that functional degenaration of nerve conduction was irresible or not. It is important to determine if palsy is already present alter trauma or some later time because origin of viral infection or temperature change may possible.

6년령의 중성화한 수컷 시츄견이 좌측 안면마비를 주증으로 내원하였다. 환자는 신경검사에서 좌측 안면의 신경반사 소실 및 MRI 검사에서 두개강내 지주막낭종이 확인되었다. 환자는 안면신경마비를 유발할 수 있는 다른 기저질환을 감별하고, 또 스테로이드와 이뇨제를 이용한 치료에 대한 반응은 미약하였기에 특발성 안면신경마비로 잠정진단 하였다. 봉독 약침을 이용한 침술치료를 진행 후, 환축의 임상증상은 단계적으로 호전되었으며 치료 8주 후에는 신경반응이 거의 정상적으로 회복되었다. 본 증례는 특발성 안면마비 환축에서 봉독 약침을 이용한 치료 증례 보고이다.
