Purpose: This study identifies the effects of meridian massage on relieving facial paralysis, pain, and anxiety in Bell’s palsy patients.
Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre-test/post-test design was used for the study. The subjects were 51 Bell’s palsy patients (experimental group=26, control group=25) of D University’s oriental medicine hospital. The experimental group received a meridian massage for 20 min three times a week for two weeks. The data were analyzed with the following methods by using the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program: -test, Fisher’s exact test, and t-test.
Results: The facial paralysis scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group. The pain and anxiety scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group.
Conclusions: The results suggest that meridian massage (applied by nurses) has beneficial effects on facial paralysis, pain, and anxiety in patients suffering from Bell’s palsy. Thus, meridian massage is recommended as an alternative nursing intervention program for patients with Bell’s palsy.
