Is acupuncture effective for tics?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Is acupuncture treatment effective for tics?

Doctor's answer:

Tics may be caused by local nerve damage and can be treated through methods such as massage, acupuncture at specific points, and applying topical ointments. These methods can be combined with oral traditional Chinese medicine. It is important not to drink beer, maintain a stable mood, avoid mental stress, prevent extreme emotions like excessive joy or sorrow, and eat more apples, Chinese yam, walnuts, bean sprouts, and other foods. Avoid fried foods and stay in a cheerful mood. Do not come into contact with radiation-emitting substances.
