Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this case is to report the improvement after the acupuncture therapy and herbal medicine about two patients with senile oro-facial dyskinesia. Methods : We treated the patient with acupuncture therapy and herbal medicine by evaluating facial, lips, jaw and tongue expression of AIMS(Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale) and clinical symptom progress. Results : We have recently experienced two cases of senile oro-facial dyskinesia. Two patients were improved significantly through the acupuncture therapy and herbal medicine, so we report it for the better treatment. Conclusion : Oro-facial dyskinesia is stereotyped movements, consisting of smacking and pursing of the lips, lateral deviation and protrusion of the tongue, and occasionally lateral deviation and protrusion of the jaw. Spontaneous oro-facial dyskinesias occur in the elderly and had been said to result from edentulousness. Oriental medical treatment for oro-facial dyskinesia resulted in satisfactory results by diminishing the symptoms progressively during the admission periods. More research of oro-facial dyskinesia is needed.
