Patient's question:
Brother encountered a serious traffic accident and was unconscious for more than a month before waking up. However, he has now developed facial paralysis again. Can facial paralysis be fully recovered?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis caused by traffic accidents is generally a symptom that reappears due to nerve damage. Patients who have been unconscious for a month usually indicate a more severe degree of nerve damage. In such cases, the possibility of complete recovery is relatively low. It is recommended to implement standardized nerve repair treatment and rehabilitation exercises. The nerve repair period is typically around three months. If symptoms persist after three months, it is often not possible to achieve complete recovery.
