Question
How Long Does It Take to Treat Facial Paralysis with Acupuncture?
Answer
The initial treatment for facial paralysis focuses on improving regional blood circulation, eliminating inflammation and edema of the facial nerve, while the later stage aims to promote the recovery of neural function. Medications such as strong prednisone, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin B12 can be applied. Additionally, physical therapy, heat application, massage, and acupuncture are all viable options. Acupuncture treatment usually takes several months, and pain is a normal sensation. It’s best to continue without interruption.
