Is acupuncture useful for facial paralysis

First: it's hard to say whether facial acupuncture can cure facial paralysis, because facial paralysis has a certain tendency of self-healing. Some patients do get better after acupuncture treatment, but this can't be said to be facial paralysis cured by acupuncture, because it may also be facial paralysis itself. Nevertheless, now acupuncture treatment of facial paralysis has been carried out.

Second: if you want to treat facial paralysis through acupuncture, it is particularly important, so you should try to choose doctors with rich medical experience for acupuncture treatment. When acupuncture treatment, you don't need to add other drugs. Choosing the right acupoints is very important. Acupuncture treatment of facial paralysis is a group of acupoints, and you should choose three or four of these acupoints when you treat it once.

Third: now we have formed a consensus that ordinary facial paralysis can recover without any treatment. In regular hospitals, ordinary facial paralysis should not use any drugs. And now there is basically no evidence that facial paralysis can be cured by acupuncture.

matters needing attention

Therefore, after getting facial paralysis, we should not blindly emphasize the use of acupuncture treatment. First of all, we should go to the hospital to actively check the facial paralysis disease to see whether our disease needs medication. If we don't need medication, it may belong to self limited facial paralysis, and this kind of facial paralysis can recover itself.
