Patient's question:
I have a colleague, a woman who is 25 years old. Three years ago, she experienced facial paralysis due to facial spasm, and the hospital said it was a problem with the trigeminal nerve. After treatment, she now has a slightly crooked mouth and occasionally feels tightness and discomfort in her face.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you used acupuncture in the early stages, supplemented with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, that's fine. If the condition is more severe, it's best to have surgery, using a special material to separate the facial nerve and a blood vessel at the back of the ear. One method may completely solve this problem. However, if the facial paralysis has been present for a long time and has already caused some changes in the appearance of the facial features, it may be more difficult to recover.
