ABSTRACT
@# Objective To investigate the effects of intensive training for mimetic muscle on idiopathic facial paralysis. Methods 105 patients with idiopathic facial paralysis were divided into control group (n=53) and treatment group (n=52). All the patients received the routine treatment, including drugs, physical therapy, acupuncture and psychological support, while the treatment group was treated with intensive training for mimetic muscle in addition. Results 1 month after treatment, the muscle strength improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.01). The incidence of cure was 65.38% in the treatment group, more than 39.62% in the control group (P<0.01), as well the the total improvement of 96.15% and 83.02% respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion The intensive training for mimetic muscle can improve recovery of facial paralysis.
