Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband is currently experiencing facial paralysis. I want to give him a massage. Hello, how is the massage for facial paralysis acupoints?Doctor's answer:
If the patient has sudden facial nerve palsy (sudden facial paralysis), it is necessary to seek follow-up treatment at a local regular hospital's neurology department within 1-2 weeks of onset. The main treatment involves corticosteroid drug pulse therapy, combined with neurotrophic drugs, vitamin B12, vitamin B1, and other treatments.If the facial paralysis is caused by post-stroke sequelae, the specific acupressure points need to be implemented according to the traditional Chinese medicine treatment plan. It is not advisable to blindly decide on treatment methods on your own to avoid missing the optimal opportunity for recovery.
