Abstract

Objectives : We investicated correlation between Yangdorak and Meridian at Idiopathic facial nerve paralysis patients. Methods : For Yangdorak examination, We made a comparison between 21 patients who were diagnosticated to Idiopathic facial nerve paralysis and 22 persons who were not. Results : 1. The stress showed the highest frequency in premonitory cause at onset. 2. In comparing results on the Yangdorak general mean, they were not statistically significant between two group(p<0.05). 3. In comparing results on the Stomach(ST)-meridian Yangdorak mean, Idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group is stastically significant in comparison with non-facial paralysis group(p<0.05). 4. In comparing results on the Small Intestine(SI)-meridian Yangdorak mean, Idiopathic facial nerve paralysis group is not stastically significant in comparison with non-facial paralysis group(p<0.05). Conclusion : Yangdorak may be used for a method to objective clinical examination. But further studies are required for a use of practical indicator.
