The Yanagihara method and the House-Brackmann (H-B) method are widely used in Japan to evaluate facial paralysis. The present study focuses on the relationship between the evaluation of facial paralysis using these methods and self-evaluation by patients. One-hundred and thirty-one patients with facial paralysis were included in the study, consisting of 68 males and 63 females between the ages of 17 and 84 years (mean age: 41 +/- 18 years). In addition to the Yanagihara and H-B methods, two methods of self-evaluation were used by the patients. In the first self-evaluation method, the patient was asked to rate the degree of paralysis as a grade of one to six. In the second method, the patient was asked to rate the severity of the paralysis on a scale of 0-100. The paralysis scores and grades determined using the Yanagihara and H-B methods were correlated with the self-evaluations. However, the strength of the correlation varied among the patients, indicating that the evaluation of subjective symptoms differed among individuals. Even patients who were evaluated as either "completely paralyzed" or "cured" according to the Yanagihara and H-B methods did not always rate their subjective symptoms as being consistent with these scores. In particular, 20 to 30% of patients who were evaluated as "cured" complained of minor dyskinesia.
