This disease typically onset after adulthood, with the highest incidence occurring between the ages of 30 and 40.

Acupuncture Therapy: Acupuncture has a certain therapeutic effect on facial spasm and is considered a difficult and complex condition in acupuncture medicine. Currently, Western medicine treatment only addresses the symptoms, which are easily relieved but tend to recur after medication is stopped. Traditional Chinese Medicine follows the mechanism of the disease's recurrence and expansion, starting from a holistic perspective, as stated in the Nei Jing (Internal Canon): "Treat wind first by treating blood; when blood flows smoothly, wind will naturally subside." By nourishing the liver and kidneys and regulating the spleen and stomach, the underlying mechanism of the disease's expansion can be reversed, achieving the goal of treating the root cause. Therefore, in clinical diagnosis, it is essential for patients to understand their condition, build confidence in the treatment, and cooperate actively to achieve satisfactory therapeutic outcomes.
