Acute facial neuritis is one of the common conditions in neurology in China, and there is a wide variety of treatments for facial neuritis, not least of which are many folk remedies. Many patients are seen clinically without effective treatment and proper guidance, and the best time for treatment is delayed and cannot be completely cured. In the treatment of facial neuritis, there are some misconceptions that need to be clarified: 1. Do the facial palsy symptoms of facial neuritis need to be treated? Neurologists have long believed that facial neuritis is an infectious disease of the peripheral nerves, which can recover on its own in three weeks to one month after the acute phase of treatment with hormones, antiviral, vasodilator, vitamins and other neurotrophic drugs, leaving the symptoms of peripheral facial paralysis after the acute phase (usually 7 days). In fact, in some patients, because of the heavy infection and obvious nerve damage, the recovery time is longer, and the individual will evolve into facial muscle spasm, so it is necessary to treat facial palsy. 2.Does folk therapy work or not? A lot of people know that the mouth is crooked and the eyes are slanted, use eel external wipe, is the folklore of the fallen wind, with eel blood treatment. There is also the use of strychnine, croton (both very irritating Chinese medicine) facial topical. These treatments are not very scientific? Is it very effective? It should be said that the treatment with eel blood lacks scientific basis and is not based on the theory of Chinese medicine. Then why has it been circulating for so long? It is because some of the patients who can heal themselves seem to be very effective with eel blood, but in fact, fish blood has no effect at all. At best, if you say it far-fetched, it is because the protein in the fish blood contracted and partially corrected the expression muscle paralyzed by nerve damage, making it appear that the corner of the mouth is not so obvious, as if it is very effective. This is also the case with topical Chinese medicine, and strychnine and croton are very corrosive and can cause local skin damage, and are now rarely used. 3.Does Chinese medicine have any effect? Some patients choose to take Chinese medicine because they are afraid of acupuncture treatment. According to traditional medical theory, facial paralysis should be classified inside wind evidence. There are several classifications such as external wind-cold, external wind-heat, and internal movement of liver wind. There are herbal prescriptions such as Zhuanzheng San (a special prescription for crooked mouth) and other special prescriptions. Clinical observation shows that the advantages of Chinese medicine in the treatment of facial neuritis are not obvious. 4. Is acupuncture treatment effective? Simple acupuncture method: without any measures, using only acupuncture needles, group acupuncture formula acupuncture treatment Electroacupuncture therapy: after acupuncture points, add DC stimulation to the needles. Long needle penetrating therapy: the use of longer acupuncture needles, needles into the epidermis, along the subcutaneous with a needle to stimulate two acupuncture points, which is a favorite method used by many old Chinese medicine practitioners). Local cutting treatment, buried thread, bloodletting method. These aspects should be effective. 5. Are there any effects of neurotrophic drugs? Such as methylcobalamin, hormones, antiviral drugs in combination, is also more effective. 6.Local warmth and wind protection? In the acute stage, it is advisable to do local warming and windproof work, and massage appropriately.
