Abstrakt: | Objective: To evaluate the effect of muscle strengthening intervention in peripheral facial palsy (PFP). Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at five hospitals. Fifty-one subjects with PFP who showed a response of less than 20% on electroneurography (ENoG) were enrolled. Subjects in a muscle-strengthening-intervention group (MS Group) underwent a selective muscle contraction intervention (SMCI). Subjects in another group not receiving muscle strengthening intervention (Non-MS Group). Both groups underwent three interventions: Prohibition of maximum effort movements, Stretching of the affected facial muscles, and Mirror biofeedback therapy. The outcomes were measured by the Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (FGS) at 6 months after onset (primary endpoint) and at 12 months after onset (secondary endpoint). The subjects in the MS Group and Non-MS Group were further divided into subgroups showing ENoG responses of 10% or less and ENoG responses of over 10%, as a sub-analysis. Results: No significant differences between the MS Group and Non-MS Group at either the primary endpoint or secondary endpoint. Among the subjects in the treatment group with an ENoG response of over 10% at the primary endpoint, the FGS Composite Score and FGS Voluntary Movement score were both significantly higher in the MS Group than in Non-MS Group. Although the MS Group had a significantly lower FGS Resting Symmetry Score, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the FGS Synkinesis Score. Conclusions: SMCI improved paralysis in subjects exhibiting an ENoG response of over 10% within the 6 months from onset without any deterioration of synkinesis. Competing Interests: There were no conflicts of interest in this study. (2020, JAPANESE PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION.) |
