Patient's question:
I have facial paralysis caused by a stroke. I want to know what to do about facial paralysis caused by a stroke. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy can be divided into central facial palsy and peripheral facial palsy. Facial palsy caused by a stroke is a type of central facial palsy. Its characteristic is that inflammation of the brain leads to the collapse of facial expression muscles below the eyelids on the opposite side. It has been confirmed that it is caused by a stroke, so the treatment in the early stage is based on treating the stroke, followed by coordinated treatments such as acupuncture and physical therapy. Generally, after relevant treatments, facial symptoms can be partially or basically relieved. Due to differences in individual constitution and condition, the duration of full recovery varies.
