Description:
Patients were separated into two groups as Group 1 (pulsed ultrasound therapy) and Group 2 (sham). Both groups were undergone to a conservative treatment program (20 min hot pack, massage 20 min and facial expression exercises) for 3 weeks, 5 days a week. In group 1 pulsed US treatment (frequency: 1000 kHz, intensity: 0.5w/cm2, on-off ratio: 1:2, duration 5 min) were applied to the paralyzed facial muscles. The patients in group 2 received exactly the same procedure as the treatment group, except that the power switch was off. All treatments were applied for 5 days a week for 3 weeks by the same 5-cm2 head US device (Enraf-Nonius Sonopuls 434) and the same physiotherapist. Patients were assessed at baseline, after last session, and 3 months after the treatment. Sunnybrook Facial Grading System, House Brackmann Facial Grading System and Facial Disability Index and electrophysiologic parameters were used for outcome evaluation.
