Methods: We measured the facial palsy changes of the patients who were admitted for Bell's palsy in the Oriental Medical hospital of Dongeui medical center from 07-01-2003 to 09-30-2003. Bell's palsy patients were divided into two groups. One group(A group) was treated by acupuncture. The other group(B group) was treated by Dong's acupuncture. The effects of these treatment was evaluated by Yanagihara's unweighted grading system. Results : B group was marked more higher than A group in treatment outcome. we discovered that it is significant differences between two groups after 2 week. Conclusion : These results provided that A group is more effective than B group on. For clearly comparing the Effect of Acupuncture and Dong's Acupuncture on Bell's palsy, it is need more sample's number and more treatment's duration.
