Question
Can facial spasm caused by paralysis recover?
Answer
Facial spasm, also known as hemifacial spasm, is generally controllable by monitoring the facial nerve function with an instrument that controls the temperature based on the neural thermal denaturation. It increases the conduction of abnormal sensations through nerve fibers. Facial paralysis may occur postoperatively. Facial paralysis can gradually and completely recover within 1 to 2 years, but postoperative recovery is also very important; there may be a recurrence of permanent facial paralysis. Therefore, most people are using traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
