Patient's question:
Does acupuncture treat facial paralysis with sequelae?Doctor's answer:
Acupuncture has a certain effect on treating facial paralysis, but the acupuncture treatment causes trauma to the patient's face, which can easily delay the condition and lead to facial muscle fibrosis. If facial paralysis does not recover or only partially recovers within a certain period of treatment, it often results in muscle contractions of the paralyzed area, facial muscle spasms, or (associated movements), as well as crocodile tear syndrome, becoming sequelae of facial nerve paralysis.
