  • 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.

  • Objective : Several conservative treatments have been tried in peripheral facial nerve paralysis, because 80% of patients recover spontaneously. Surgical decompression may be helpful to the residual, medically intractable patients. We present here our experiences of facial nerve decompression via middle fossa approach, which seems to be one of good surgical therapeutic options for medically refractory peripheral facial nerve paralysis. Method : Three cases of medically intractable peripheral type facial paralysis were microscopically operated via middle cranial fossa approach to decompress the labyrinthine segment of the facial nerve and geniculate ganglion by searching landmarks of middle meningeal artery, greater superficial petrosal nerve and facial hiatus. Results : After operation, two cases of Bell's palsy improved substantially and one case of post-traumatic facial paralysis improved partially. Conclusion : This report is presented to describe the surgical facial nerve decompression via middle fossa for early control of peripheral type facial paralysis. Surgical decompression of edematous peripherally paralysed facial nerve could be preferred to conservative treatment in some patients although more surgical experience should be required.

Results : 1. In cupping group and non-cupping group, compared with baseline, at final, HB score was significantly decreased and Y score was significantly increased. 2. At final, cupping group showed significant decrease on HB score and significant increase on Y score compared with non-cupping group.

  • Background: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different cupping therapy methods combined with Korean medicine treatments for peripheral facial paralysis. Methods: 105 patients treated for peripheral facial paralysis with cupping therapy and other Korean medicine treatment at Gil Korean medicine hospital, Gachon University between May 19, 2014 and June 30, 2018 were selected and their medical charts retrospectively analyzed. 48 patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups: wet cupping (WC) therapy, or dry cupping (DC) therapy combined with Korean medicine treatment. The duration of treatment ranged from 2 weeks for inpatient treatment to 2 months for outpatient treatment. Both WC and DC therapy were performed on TE13, 3 times per week during the treatment period. The effect of cupping therapy was evaluated by using the Gross Grading System of the House-Brackmann (HB score) and the Yanagihara's Unweighted Grading System (Y score). Results: For both WC and DC treatment of symptoms related to peripheral facial paralysis, HB scores showed a significant decrease and Y scores showed a significant increase from baseline to end of treatment, indicating a beneficial improvement in patient symptoms for both WC and DC. Conclusion: In this study, both DC and WC treatment had significant improvements on peripheral facial paralysis symptoms, with WC having significantly greater beneficial effects than DC.

  • Thirty cases were observed among the peripheral facial paralysis patients who admitted. the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of Seoul Oriental Hospital between Feb. 2nd, 1995 and Aug. 14th, 2000. These patients were divided into two groups; the first group was treated with indirect facial moxibustion., while the second with basic oriental-westem medicine treatment. Object : To improve the therapeutic rate of peripheral facial paralysis by applying basic oriental-western medicine treatment and indirect facial moxibustion. Method : Inpatients suffering from peripheral paralysis of facial nerve were divided into two groups; both groups recieved basic oriental-western medicine treatment; the experimental group additionally received indirect facial moxibustion onto Tuyu(頭維) and Chich'ang(地倉) once or twice daily. Result : In the therapeutic result from moxibustion treatment group, 3 excellent, 7 good, 3 fair, and 1 poor case were observed. From compound treatment group, 2 excellent, 5 good, 5 fair and 4 poor cases were observed. Among the excellent and good patients of both groups, therapeutic rate of moxibustion treatment group (71.4%) was higher than that of compound treatment group(43.8%). Conclusion : The overall therapeuric rate of the moxibustion treatment group was 92.8%, which was higher than that of the compound treatment group(75.1%).

  • Objectives : This study was to compare the effect of moxibustion therapy on peripheral facial para- lysis according to location of acupoint. Methods : We investigated 41 cases of inpatients with Peripheral Facial Paralysis, and divided them into two groups, One group was treated by moxibustion on local point(ML), and the other was treated by moxibustion on distant point(MD). We evaluated the effect of moxibustion in each group by using Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann(HB score) and Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System(Y score). Results : 1. In ML and MD, compared with baseline, at final, HB score was significantly decreased and Y score was significantly increased. 2. At final, ML showed significant decrease on HB score and significant increase on Y score compared with MD. Conclusions : These results suggested that ML should be more useful for improving symptoms related with peripheral facial paralysis than MD.

  • Objectives : This study was to observe clinical application of auto-microneedle therapy system (AMTS) in patients with peripheral facial paralysis. Methods : 27 peripheral facial paralysis patients were observed after taking AMTS at Facial Palsy Center, Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine Hospital from March 1, 2011 to January 9, 2012. We assessed the symptoms of facial paralysis with Yanagihara unweighted grading system, Sunnybrook facial grading system(SBGS) and facial disability index(FDI), and observed adverse events and total safety of the treatment. Results : The scores of facial palsy scales increased after AMTS in Yanagihara grading system and Sunnybrook facial grading system. AMTS-related adverse events were mild pain(5.9%) and fatigue(3.5%), which needed no extra treatment. The total safety evaluation was between 'safe' and 'nearly safe' level. There were no other serious adverse events. In addition, patients were satisfied with subjective improvement including facial tingling and numbness. Conclusions : AMTS can be applied as an adjunctive treatment for patients with peripheral facial paralysis due to its safety and clinical usefulness. It is easier to stimulate wide skin area in a short time. Further clinical research is required to investigate the effectiveness of ATMS in a more rigorous RCTs.
