Question
What are the treatment methods for Hunter’s myasthenia?
Answer
Hunter’s myasthenia is caused by trigeminal neuritis triggered by the herpes zoster virus infection, leading to nerve root edema and subsequently causing facial muscle paralysis. Treatment during the acute phase primarily involves adrenal cortical hormones, combined with B vitamins to nourish the nerves, in order to reduce nerve root edema and simultaneously carry out other symptomatic treatments. During the recovery period, methods such as acupuncture and infrared light therapy can be employed to promote recovery. However, this disease cannot be cured completely. Patients should actively engage in physical activities, maintain physical and mental health, and maintain good personal hygiene.
