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.
