Question
Does acupuncture treatment for facial palsy have complications?
Answer
Acupuncture treatment for facial palsy has some therapeutic effects, but it can also cause facial trauma, which may delay recovery and lead to facial muscle fibrosis. If the palsy does not recover or does not fully recover within a certain treatment period, it can often result in muscle spasms of the paralyzed muscles, facial twitching, or associated movements, becoming complications of facial nerve palsy.
