Abstract
:
Idiopathic Bell`s palsy is a weakness or complete paralysis of facial muscles . On the other hand , it is a peripheral facial paralysis believed to be the result of edema and compression of the facial nerve at the meatal foramen inside the temporal canal in the temporal bone . More recently , it was shown that Bell`s palsy may be due to reactivated herpes simplex virus . Therefore , an agent like acyclovir which is effective against this virus seems logic to treat this condition . A study was undertaken to assess and compare the different modalities of treatment of early Bell`s palsy ; such as acupuncture , acyclovir , prednisolone , faradic stimulation , facial exercise , and short wave therapy . It was found that a combination of acupuncture and the common type of treatments is superior to other treatment modalities . Patients responded to acyclovir indicated that infection with herpes simplex virus is the most likely cause of Bell`s palsy .
