Abstract
Objective : This study was designed to evaluate the effect of combined Silver Spike Point Therapy and Electroacupuncture on symptoms with Peripheral Facial Paralysis. Methods: We investigated 112 cases of patients with Peripheral Facial Paralysis. The patients were divided into two groups. Group A and B were both treated with basic oriental medicine treatment including Electroacupunctre and Group B was treated with Silver Spike Point Therapy additionaly. We evaluated the tratment effect of each group by using Gross Grading System of House-Brackmann, Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System before treatment, after 2weeks and 4weeks treatment and Changing Point -period from onset of Peripheral Facial Paralysis to the day which the change begins to be seen at the face-. Results: 1. In Changing point, two groups showed significant differences. 2. As a results of evaluation by using Gross Grading system of House-Brackmann, Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System, treatment scores showed significant difference over time in each group. 3. After 4weeks treatment, Group B showed significant difference on Gross Grading system of House-Brackmann, Yanagihara's Unweighed Grading System compared with Group A. 4. After 2weeks and 4weeks treatment, the Improvement Indexes of Group B were higher than those of Group A and statistically significant. And after 2weeks and 4weeks treatment, Ratio of Group B on mean of Improvement Index was 1.47 times and 1.34 times as large as those of Group A. Conclusions : Combined Silver Spike Point Therapy on Peripheral Facial Paralysis was more efficacious than the only use of basic oriental treatment including Electroacupuncture.
