Abstract:

Recently, acyclovir use has been proposed for the treatment of Bell's palsy in view of the hypothetical viral origin of the disorder. Recent studies suggest that the maximum effect is achieved by combining acyclovir with prednisone. Nevertheless, acyclovir alone appears to be useful in the treatment of some patients (hypertensive subjects). Protocols are defined for the medical treatment of Bell's palsy.
