Bell's palsy (BP) is the commonest form of facial palsy. It often starts with pain behind the ear, with impairment of taste sensation. One-hundred and twenty (120) subjects were participated in this study; they were divided into two groups: Group one: Eighty (80) Bell's palsy patients included in this study. These patients were treated by LLLT. Diagnosis of patients with Bell's palsy based on House- Brachmann Scale (HBS, 1996); this diagnosis was done by neuromedicine / neurosurgery specialists, and group two: Forty (40) healthy control subjects (volunteers) with no signs and symptoms of any systemic diseases, with matched ages and genders with BP patients. There was a highly significant reduction in serum HSV-1 IgG level after LLLT (p<0.001). No significant differences were observed before and after LLLT regarding salivary HSV-1 IgG level, serum HSV-1 IgM level and salivary HSV-1 IgM level. A highly significant decline in serum VZV IgG level was observed after LLLT (p<0.001). No significant differences were observed before and after LLLT regarding salivary VZV IgG level, serum VZV IgM level and salivary VZV IgM level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
