Objective To explore the clinical effect of kinesio-taping therapy on hemifacial spasm.Methods Patients with hemifacial spasm in the Rehabilitation Medical Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University from June 2015 to December 2018 were included. They were randomly divided into the kinesio-taping group and control group. The patients in the control group underwent ultrashort wave therapy and facial muscle function training: once a day, 10 days as a course of treatment; 2 days rest between each course; a total of 3 courses of treatment. In the kinesio-taping group, besides the original treatment, the kinesio-taping therapy was added: once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment; 2 days rest between each course; a total of 3 courses of treatment. The clinical effect of the two groups was observed.Results A total of 60 patients were included, with 30 in each of the two groups. There was no significant difference in the classification of facial muscle spasm between the two groups before the treatment (Z=−0.233, P=0.816). After the treatment, the difference in the classification of facial muscle spasm between the two groups was statistically significant (Z=−3.062, P=0.002); while both the kinesio-taping group (Z=−4.688, P< 0.001) and the control group (Z=−3.804, P< 0.001) improved compared with those before the treatment. The effect of kinesio-taping group [93.33% (28/30)] was better than that of the control group [76.67% (23/30)] (Z=−3.073, P=0.002).Conclusion Kinesio-taping therapy can relieve the stiffness and pain caused by facial spasm, promote the recovery of facial muscle sensory function and bilateral coordinated movement, and relieve the clinical symptoms of patients,with the advantages of simple operation and good effect.
