Question
I have a friend who has been suffering from facial paralysis for over two years. She has visited multiple hospitals but has seen no improvement. I would like to ask what treatment methods are available for facial paralysis post-stroke syndrome?
Answer
Treatment methods for facial paralysis post-stroke syndrome include: 1. Using B vitamins and other nerve-nourishing medications to stabilize regional blood circulation, reduce facial nerve swelling, and promote functional recovery. Carbamazepine is a commonly used medication for treating facial spasm. 2. Combine traditional Chinese medicine steam therapy and try to avoid excessive use of electroacupuncture or electroacupuncture therapy. 3. For cases that are difficult to treat and severe, consider surgical treatment options, such as the latest small muscle free grafting technology.
