To what extent can facial paralysis acupuncture be stopped?

Patient's question:

What level of facial paralysis acupuncture can stop the needle?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, acupuncture treatment can be stopped once the patient's facial expression muscles have returned to normal. Until the facial muscles fully recover, but if the recovery is not satisfactory, patients will be encouraged to persist with treatment and strive to restore eye closure function. This is because poor eye closure can easily lead to infection. Self-recovery after stopping acupuncture cannot be guaranteed. A thorough treatment is safer. Don't delay treatment due to inconvenience, as it will be more difficult to cure later.
