Patient's question:
Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Can facial paralysis be recovered through acupuncture?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy, especially in the early stages, can be treated with medication, and acupuncture intervention is more effective the earlier it is applied. After the acute phase, adding moxibustion, electrotherapy, and acupoint massage can yield better results. However, the prognosis ultimately depends on the cause of facial nerve palsy. Bacterial facial nerve palsy has a better prognosis, while viral facial nerve palsy has a poorer prognosis. When it comes to choosing a treatment facility, it is recommended to seek acupuncture treatment at a regular medical institution.
