Patient's question:
My husband developed post-stroke facial paralysis due to acupuncture. I would like to ask what are the treatment methods for post-stroke facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is categorized into central facial palsy and peripheral facial palsy. It is caused by infections, trauma, poisoning, and metabolic disorders. Most patients suddenly notice that one side of their face is unable to move and the mouth droops while washing their face in the morning. The affected side cannot perform actions like frowning. If a patient experiences facial palsy, they should immediately seek diagnosis and treatment at a local hospital. A detailed otological examination should be conducted, and facial nerve electroneurography can help understand the degree of degeneration of the facial nerve after injury. The treatment for facial palsy is generally rigorous.
