Abstract
Objective This study is designed to evaluate the effects of Korean medicine treatment for facial nerve palsy. Method The patient was administered Korean medicine treatment, including acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herbal medicine. We used the House-Brackmann Grading System and Yanagiharaâs Unweighted Grading System to assess the symptoms of facial nerve palsy. Results The patientâs House-Brackmann grade was reduced from grade IV to grade II, and Yanagiharaâs grade was increased from 19 to 32. The patientâs symptoms, which were facial pain, facial asymmetry, reduced wrinkling forehead, incomplete closing eye, epiphora, and tinnitus, improved during the hospitalization.
