Critical time window for facial neuritis (facial palsy) treatment The acute phase of facial neuritis, i.e., within one week of onset. This is the period of inflammatory progression of facial neuritis, and the condition of the patient will generally develop and worsen gradually. Clinical experience has shown that the earlier the use of milli-fire needles and acupuncture treatment, the more effective it is in promoting the absorption of local facial nerve inflammatory edema and preventing further expansion of inflammation, thus controlling the development of the disease. This period is the key treatment time window for facial neuritis, using milli-fire acupuncture as the main treatment, the condition is controlled, facial nerve damage is light, most can be fully recovered in about 1 month. If you miss this time window and your condition progresses to severe facial palsy before you think about acupuncture treatment, it will take a long time to treat the damaged nerve and the possibility of complete recovery will be greatly reduced. Some doctors who do not know about acupuncture tell their patients to wait until after the acute period for acupuncture treatment, which will cause the patients to miss the best time window for acupuncture intervention.
