Middle-aged and elderly people are the most prevalent group of people with facial muscle spasms. Most patients start with just eyelid jumping and gradually extend to other muscles. Involuntary and irregular twitching of the facial muscles is its main characteristic, and once this twitching occurs, it cannot be stopped by hand. If you want to stop this twitching, you need to take scientific and effective treatment. What are the best ways to treat facial twitching? Medication: Some light patients choose drugs such as phenytoin sodium or carbamazepine, and the symptoms can be relieved, however, after a period of time, the condition will still recur. Another point to note is that long-term use of medications may produce side effects such as drowsiness, weakness, and nausea. And general central sedatives, inhibitors and hormones are not significantly effective in the treatment of facial muscle spasm. Acupuncture treatment: Acupuncture is the treatment of stimulating acupuncture points with acupuncture tools, and generally patients will feel significant results after treatment with acupuncture. But later relapses up, may be more serious than before, it is recommended that patients use caution. Botulinum toxin treatment: Some patients choose the method of injecting botulinum toxin, which may briefly control the relief of convulsion symptoms to a certain extent, but the effect is not long-lasting and will recur. In addition, long-term repeated injections may also cause artificial facial paralysis. At present, minimally invasive surgery for facial muscle spasm is gradually coming into people’s view, and after continuous clinical testing and practice, significant results have been achieved. Microvascular decompression surgery is operated under a microscope to precisely find the responsible blood vessels compressing the nerve and give separation, which is effective in treating facial muscle spasm.
