Question
The patient inquires about treatment methods for facial paralysis, particularly for those who have been affected for a year and also experience facial muscle twitching.
Answer
It is recommended that the patient first adjusts their mindset, avoids excessive suppression, and tries acupuncture and massage therapy, which are traditional Chinese medicine treatments. However, if the patient experiences facial muscle twitching, further diagnosis and treatment are required. In modern medicine, hormones, B vitamins, and physical therapy are commonly used to treat facial paralysis. At the same time, it is widely recognized in clinical practice that a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, especially acupuncture treatment, is an effective method for treating facial paralysis.
