The Chinese cure for facial palsy is the most unique. Nowadays, there are many folk gossips who are willing to cooperate with me, offering various kinds of therapies, and it seems that all roads lead to Rome, all of which can cure facial palsy. It should be said that most of them have good intentions, but some of them are in great conflict with modern medical behavior, so I will not make too much evaluation here, but only want to introduce the common misconceptions in facial palsy treatment in China, which are purely one-sided, and you can write to me for advice if you have different opinions. Myth 1: Cure rate Many doctors do not have the concept of cure rate, what do you mean by cure? Our research laboratory has strict scoring criteria that are internationally accepted. Without this concept, that is, empty talk about efficacy, is to mislead patients, which is why, when the country entered the legal process, began to rectify the medical (advertising) market. A significant portion of the patients who come to me are people who have been declared cured by their original doctors. Myth 2: Self-healing rate According to the bulk case reports from abroad, the self-healing rate of facial palsy is around 80%, and I estimate that it is slightly lower in China, but it is also around 70%. Those who return to normal within 3 weeks of onset are considered to be self-healed. Our outpatients have recovered in one day, 4-5 days, and about 10 days. It is not that I am a miracle doctor, but they are the lucky ones who can heal on their own, so we as doctors can pick up a bargain and get a false name. Unfortunately, there are too few doctors in China who are brave enough to admit that facial palsy is self-healing. I often hear them say, “Look at that patient, he got better after only two treatments with me. Misconception 3: Thousands of people have the same prescription and buy a cow from another mountain. There are more than 100 causes of facial palsy, which should be treated specifically. Some people use the same prescription to treat all facial palsy patients, do you think he can do it? Why don’t you just tie the chicken’s blood, what do we doctors need? Myth 4: Repeated acupuncture or related invasive treatment at fixed points on the patient’s face in the early stages of facial palsy Because there is still a need for affordable treatment for everyone in the old, young, and poor areas, this is what motivates me to keep searching for new treatments. However, this misconception should be raised because recent electrophysiological studies have confirmed that these tools can lead to irreversible damage to the patient’s facial nerve endings, creating scarring within the facial muscle and affecting the ultimate outcome. Myth 5: Complete facial palsy remains conservative for more than 1 month Studies have shown that after 3-4 weeks of onset, those who still have no real movement of the facial muscles are unlikely to be cured by conservative therapy. A comprehensive treatment based on surgical decompression should be considered to obtain the best results. Myth 6: Traumatic facial palsy and skull base fracture wait for 3 months conservatively Modern medicine has developed rapidly and various advanced technologies have emerged, making early diagnosis and treatment of traumatic facial palsy possible, and the view of waiting for 3 months conservatively is outdated. Neuropathy should be handled with the idea of emergency care, and blind waiting means regret. Myth 7: Facial palsy still does not improve after more than 6 months You should immediately go to a regular large hospital for examination to see if you have a tumor, and a single-minded effort to activate blood circulation and soothe the meridians will instead promote tumor growth.
