Patient's question:
I have been dealing with facial paralysis for over ten years without improvement. People say that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is valuable. Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy effective for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
If facial paralysis has persisted for over a decade, this indicates chronic nerve damage, and the likelihood of a cure is relatively low. Hyperbaric oxygen primarily aims to stabilize brain circulation, which also has a certain effect on facial paralysis. However, it still needs to be combined with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies, such as acupuncture, red light therapy, moxibustion, and herbal medicine. Daily routines should include enhanced massage and cold compresses to promote stability in facial blood vessels and nerves. Always maintain a positive attitude and adhere to treatment.
