Facial muscle spasm refers to involuntary paroxysmal, spastic twitching of one side of the face, first affecting the muscles around the eyes, and then gradually affecting other muscles on the same side of the face, such as the corners of the mouth, and in severe cases, the neck, and in the long run, facial paralysis. Can acupuncture cure facial muscle spasm? Acupuncture lacks targeting and is somewhat damaging. Through acupuncture, cutting, drug stimulation and other methods to cause some damage to the facial nerve trunk, so that the nerve excitability is reduced and conduction is slowed down, to achieve the purpose of inhibiting muscle twitching. However, these treatments lack targeting and often tend to injure the innocent, with lighter hands not working and heavier hands causing irreversible damage. In addition to acupuncture, some patients will choose Botox treatment, but the effect is often unsatisfactory. Professor Wang explained: Botox injection can relieve some of the symptoms of patients with facial muscle spasm, most of which can be maintained for several months, but Botox injection is often accompanied by dry eyes, lacrimation, diplopia, weakness of the eyelid muscles and cheek muscles, and multiple injections can even cause permanent paralysis of some of the cheek muscles, which should be discontinued or used with caution when there is a decrease in efficacy or serious adverse reactions. What is the effective treatment for facial muscle spasm? Microvascular decompression is a better minimally invasive surgical treatment for facial myasthenia gravis. The main advantages of microvascular decompression in the treatment of facial myospasm are: high cure rate, fast recovery, low recurrence rate, and low patient trauma, less bleeding, and low complications. Most importantly, manifest microvascular decompression can completely preserve blood vessel and nerve functions, etc. At present, facial nerve microvascular decompression surgery is the best treatment for facial muscle spasm, and the vast majority of patients are completely cured after surgery.
