Question
What department should be consulted for traumatic facial paralysis?
Answer
Traumatic facial paralysis may require a detailed examination and treatment by a neurosurgery department. Since traumatic nerve damage is often difficult to treat and nerves lack regenerative function, the effectiveness of treatment is closely related to the extent of the injury. It is recommended that patients visit the hospital’s Traditional Chinese Medicine department for treatment, where they can receive treatments such as acupuncture and electroacupuncture to stimulate regional meridians, along with herbal medicine opsonize, which may help achieve stable therapeutic effects.
