Patient's question:
A while ago, I caught a cold and developed facial paralysis. My left has been drooping. I want to try acupuncture for treatment. How long does one session of acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis usually last?Doctor's answer:
The facial paralysis we refer to is a common disease characterized by dysfunction of the facial expression muscle group, generally divided into peripheral and central types. The facial paralysis commonly mentioned by people refers to facial neuritis. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture has significant advantages in treating facial paralysis. The duration of acupuncture treatment should be 20 to 30 minutes each time, with a course of treatment lasting 15 days. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are important.
