Abstract
Objective: The aim of this case report was to present the effects of Korean medicine in the treatment of a patient with traumatic facial palsy induced by a traffic accident.Methods: A 35-year-old male patient was treated with pharmacopuncture (Shinbaro2), acupuncture, and Ansinjitong-tang over 35 days of hospitalization. Facial palsy was assessed using the House-Brackmann (HB) scale, Yanagihara score, and EuroQoL 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D).Results: After 35 days of treatment, the symptoms improved, as measured by HB (from 4 to 2), Yanagihara (from 16 to 34), and EQ-5D scores (from 0.405 to 0.913). Furthermore, there were no side effects during treatment compared with other types of pharmacopuncture or medicine.Conclusion: These results show that Korean medicine treatment may have a positive clinical effect in patients with traumatic facial palsy. However, further well-designed studies are required to confirm these findings.
