Abstract

Introduction: Evaluating recovery outcomes and identifying factors related to treatment effectiveness are essential for prognosis and accurate assessment of the disease status. Objective: To assess recovery outcomes and investigate factors associated with the treatment effectiveness of peripheral facial nerve (VII) palsy. Subjects and Methods: A longitudinal follow-up study was conducted on 69 patients diagnosed with peripheral facial nerve palsy. Results: After treatment, clinical symptoms such as forehead wrinkle flattening, nasolabial fold blurring, and deviation of the philtrum significantly improved. The proportion of patients with mild facial palsy increased, and the mean FNGS 2.0 score decreased significantly (p<0.05). Early hospital admission, younger age, cold-wind syndrome, and absence of diabetes mellitus were associated with better treatment outcomes. Combining Traditional Medicine (TM) with Modern Medicine (MM), especially corticosteroids and decoction therapy, significantly improved treatment effectiveness.Conclusion: Integrating Traditional and Modern Medicine significantly improves clinical outcomes in peripheral facial nerve palsy, particularly with early intervention.
