Question
Can facial paralysis caused by a traffic accident be fully recovered?
Answer
Facial paralysis resulting from a traffic accident is typically due to nerve damage, and the patient having experienced a long period of coma suggests that the nerve damage may be more severe. In such cases, the chance of full recovery is relatively small. It is recommended to undergo nerve repair treatment and rehabilitation training. Generally, nerve repair takes about three months, and if symptoms persist after three months, the chance of recovery is relatively low.
