Facial muscle spasm is common in middle-aged and elderly people, and is characterized by involuntary unilateral facial twitching, which is sometimes light and sometimes heavy, without any regularity. Patients with facial myospasm usually start with eyelid jumping, and as the disease progresses, it slowly expands to other facial muscles such as the corners of the mouth and neck, and in communication with others, the face twitches and jerks, which not only embarrasses the other party, but also makes the patient feel inferior. Some patients with facial spasms have long jumps, which greatly affects eating, sleeping and working. For patients whose condition has developed to a serious level, in addition to repeatedly squeezing their eyebrows, there are even adverse consequences such as crooked mouth and eyes and facial paralysis. What are the causes of facial muscle spasm? Research has found that most patients suffer from facial muscle spasm due to the compression of the facial nerve root by blood vessels. Under normal circumstances, blood vessels and facial nerve roots do not compress each other and do not interfere with each other in a parallel relationship. However, as people age, blood vessels gradually thicken, grow and age, and people with three high blood vessels are prone to atherosclerosis, which leads to abnormal blood vessel travel and thus compression of the facial nerve root. Long-term compression of the facial nerve root can lead to demyelination, nerve signal conduction disorder, abnormal movement of the innervated facial muscles, resulting in facial twitching symptoms. In addition, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, emotional tension and mental stress can also aggravate facial twitching. Treatment of facial twitching From the feedback results of clinical treatment, the effect of traditional methods such as drugs, botulinum toxin and acupuncture is poor. It is understood that microvascular decompression is a standard surgical procedure recognized by the medical community for the treatment of facial muscle spasm and other diseases, and is an effective treatment for the cause of the disease, which can achieve the desired effect. The procedure is based on the principle of vascular compression of the facial nerve root. Under microscopic investigation, the responsible vessel for facial nerve compression is found, and then the responsible vessel is gently peeled off and a special medical tefflon spacer is inserted between the facial nerve and the responsible vessel to release the compression and adhesion and restore the patient’s face to normal.
