Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My mother has facial paralysis, so I want to ask if high-pressure oxygen therapy is effective for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis is actually a condition caused by facial nerve dysfunction or a syndrome of circulatory nerve dysfunction following brain inflammation. Therefore, treatment must first identify the cause to accurately determine the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning or excessive carbon dioxide leading to poisoning, before considering hyperbaric oxygen therapy. For simple facial nerve paralysis, acupuncture and physiotherapy with blood-activating effects are the primary treatments.
