ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the effectiveness of facial motor therapy combined with acupressure on Bell's palsy. Methods 58 patients with Bell's palsy were randomly divided into control group (n=29) and experimental group (n=29). The control group was treated with routine treatment. The experimental group was treated with motor therapy and acupressure routine treatment in addition. All patients were assessed with Facial Nerve Function Defect Assessment before, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment. Results The average time for treatment was (29.62±12.15) days in the control group and (25.63±11.56) days in the experimental group (P>0.05). The rate of effectiveness was 100% in two groups. The rate of complete recovery was not significantly different between the two groups (58.6% vs. 72.4%, respectively,P>0.05). Significantly difference of score of Facial Nerve Function Defect Assessment was only found between two groups 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.05), but tended to be lower in the experimental group than in the control group. Conclusion Facial motor therapy plus acupressure is helpful in promoting the recovery of Bell's palsy.
