Question
What are some effective techniques for treating facial palsy?
Answer
Treatment methods for facial palsy include acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, or Western medicine as assist treatment. For more severe cases, surgery may be necessary, involving the use of special materials to separate the facial nerve from the blood vessels in the back of the ear. This approach has the potential to resolve the issue completely. If facial palsy has been present for a long time and has caused changes in facial shape, recovery may be difficult.
