ABSTRACT
Objective:
To observe the clinical efficacy of Kinesio Taping guided therapy on facial paralysis and salivation after stroke.Methods:
From January to July, 2018, 30 patients with central facial palsy were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and observation group (n = 15). The control group accepted ice stimulation, facial massage, facial muscle function training and low-frequency electrical stimulation, while the observation group accepted Kinesio Taping of "Y" or "O" shape alternately during massage and facial muscle function training, and kept taping for a day if possible. They were assessed with Teacher Drooling Scale (TDS), House-Brackmann (H-B) Scale and Facial Nerve Function Scale before and four weeks after treatment.Results:
Both groups improved in the scores of TDS, H-B Scale and Facial Nerve Function Scale after treatment (Z > 2.460, t > 4.971, P < 0.05), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (Z > 2.817, t > 4.964, P < 0.01).Conclusion:
Kinesio Taping guided therapy is effective on central facial paralysis and salivation after stroke.
