Patient's question:
My relative was carefully diagnosed with facial paralysis yesterday. She wants a needle treatment. Hello, can facial paralysis be treated with a single needle?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I haven't heard of the idea of treating facial paralysis with a single needle. Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy, is a functional impairment or other symptoms caused by the facial nerve being affected by cold wind or other infectious factors. It can lead to symptoms such as drooping mouth and unclear speech. If facial paralysis reoccurs, it is essential to seek medical treatment at a formal hospital's neurology department or traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy department for follow-up treatment. Symptomatic treatments such as nerve nutrition and acupuncture therapy can be provided. Don't believe in the mythical idea of treating facial paralysis with a single needle. The earlier you seek medical treatment, the better, as recovery takes time.
