“…SJSNRT-F is a type of Chuna manual therapy for the treatment of facial palsy, and is known to restore asymmetrical facial muscles to their original position and stimulate proprioceptive neuromuscular receptors [ 10 , 11 , 19 ]. Prior studies on SJSNRT-F include three case reports by Lee et al [ 10 ], Choi et al [ 11 ], and Kyung et al [ 19 ]. In the present case presentation, the patient refused Chuna manual therapy in the middle of the treatment schedule because of cost burdens.…”

“…As for Chuna manual therapy, a manipulation technique, the SJS non-resistance technique-facial palsy (SJSNRT-F), was applied five times, on 5 November, 8 November, 10 November, 11 November and 16 November 2022. The therapist placed both hands on the patient’s face and applied force to pull the skin of the affected side for 10 s, and gently and slowly pushed the skin of the unaffected side for 10 s. The force applied when pulling the skin was such that the therapist was able to sense the skin moving while the applied pressure was barely detectable on the muscles underneath the skin ( Figure 1 ) [ 10 ]. Considering this described procedure as one set, four sets were administered and the therapist checked the alignment of the forehead, philtrum, and middle of the lips in terms of symmetry and straight-line alignment.…”

“…Considering this described procedure as one set, four sets were administered and the therapist checked the alignment of the forehead, philtrum, and middle of the lips in terms of symmetry and straight-line alignment. After completing each SJSNRT-F session, the patient was instructed to rest for at least 1 h without using the facial muscles [ 10 , 11 ].…”

Prior studies exploring the effectiveness of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) treatment for facial palsy have mainly focused on Bell’s palsy, and there are few studies on the effectiveness of TKM treatments for traumatic facial palsy following mandibular fracture. The patient was a 24-year-old Korean man with left-sided facial paralysis following a left mandibular fracture. Surgery was performed for the fracture and the facial palsy was treated using conventional medicine (CM) treatments for approximately 3 months, but there was no improvement observed in the patient’s condition. Subsequently, the patient underwent an integrative Korean medicine treatment regimen consisting of acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, cupping, moxibustion, and herbal medication for a duration of 2 months. After 2 months of treatments, the House–Brackmann facial grading scale changed from Ⅴ to II and Yanagihara’s unweighted grading score increased from 9 to 34. This case presentation and previous studies of traumatic facial palsy using TKM treatment show that TKM treatment may be considered a complementary or alternative treatment method to CM treatment in patients with traumatic facial palsy.

“…Moreover, a study [16] reported that SJS non-resistance technique-facial palsy manual therapy based on the restoration of muscle nerves by re-education of the paralyzed muscles was effective in cases that were not responsive to conventional KM treatment such as acupuncture and EA. Recently, some studies [17,18] have analyzed the effects of K-FCMT combined with conventional KM treatment on patients with Bell's palsy in the plateau phase and sequelae phase.…”

Five Clinical Cases of Facial Chuna Manual Therapy with Korean Medicine Treatment for Acute Bell’s Palsy

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study individually analyzed the effects of Korean Facial Chuna Manual Treatment (K-FCMT) combined with Korean medicine (KM) treatment (acupuncture, electroacupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herbal medicine) on five patients with acute Bell's palsy who visited Dongsuwon Korean Medicine Hospital between August 1 and 31, 2022. During inpatient treatment, two of the five patients received K-FCMT 5-6 times a week, and the other three received the same frequency during outpatient treatment for approximately 2 weeks. Patients with a House-Brackmann grading scale (HBGS) score of ≤4 and Yanagihara unweighted grading system (Y-score) ≥7-8 began to recover after the 2nd-3rd sessions of K-FCMT, which entered the recovery phase quickly. As patients entered the recovery phase (7-9th sessions of K-FCMT), symptoms improved to HBGS scores of 1-2 and Y-scores of 35-40 points. This study suggests the possibility of applying K-FCMT combined with KM treatment to patients in the acute stage of Bell's palsy.

“…Korean medicine uses various treatments for facial palsy, including acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, physical therapy, Chuna therapy [7], electroacupuncture [8], and embedding therapy [9]. Along with the main symptom of facial nerve palsy there are several other symptoms including ear pain, taste disorder, hyperacusis, tinnitus, and lacrimation.…”

Correlation Between Accompanying Symptoms of Facial Nerve Palsy, Clinical Assessment Scales and Surface Electromyography

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: This retrospective study aimed to determine whether there were correlations between the number and type of accompanying symptoms of peripheral facial nerve palsy, and surface electromyography (SEMG) and clinical assessment scales to help diagnosis.Methods: There were 30, cases of peripheral facial nerve palsy at Visit 1 to the Korean Medicine Hospital, Dong-eui University, 22 cases at Visit 2 and 10 cases at Visit 3. The study period was from July 19, 2021 to November 31, 2021. Symptoms were evaluated three times (with two-week intervals which began 7 days from onset) using SEMG, clinical assessment scales and accompanying symptoms. In this study, the House-Brackmann grading system (HBGS), and the Yanagihara’s unweighted grading system (Y-score) clinical assessment scales were used. The Pearson or Spearman correlation was used for statistical analysis.Results: On Visit 1, the number of accompanying symptoms of peripheral facial nerve palsy had no significant correlation with other measures. On Visits 1-3, the HBGS score had a significant negative correlation with the Y-score. On Visit 2, most of the mean values measured had significant correlations with each other although not between SEMG-Z and SEMG-O that Z means a zygomaticus muscle and O means a orbicularis oris muscle. On Visit 3, the number of accompanying symptoms significantly correlated with the clinical assessment scales. The HBGS score, Y-score, and SEMG measurements (except SEMG-Z) had significant correlations with each other. A significant positive correlation between SEMG-Z and SEMG-T was noted.Conclusion: We predict accompanying symptoms can be used to diagnose the peripheral facial nerve palsy including both clinical assessment scales and SEMG measurements at 2-5 weeks after onset.
