Many patients with facial muscle spasms have the question of how effective is medication for facial muscle spasms? Today I will give you an answer. Like the early beating is relatively mild facial muscle spasm patients, can be under the guidance of the doctor, take some vitamin B, methylcobalamin and some other nutritive nerve drugs. But these drugs are also only nutritional nerve, can not solve the fundamental problem, and the current spasm-relieving drugs, the effect of the treatment of facial muscle spasm is not particularly good, such as carbamazepine, which is a kind of drug that can slow down the speed of all the cells to transmit the nerve electrical signals, so it can slow down the transmission of the nerve electrical signals to the muscles, as well as the muscle’s twitching conduction to the speed of the brain’s sensory center. However, since the drug is not directed, it causes all nerve signals to slow down, and the patient then experiences side effects such as drowsiness and unresponsiveness. For some patients who drive a lot and work in critical jobs, it is recommended to try not to use carbamazepine. And long-term medication is also more harmful, such as long-term medication will produce a certain degree of drug resistance to the body, the amount of medication taken in the late stage will gradually increase, and the effect of the drug will become less and less obvious. And most of the drugs are metabolized by the liver, long-term medication may cause liver function damage. Therefore, it is generally based on a face-to-face examination to determine the severity of the condition of patients with facial muscle spasms, and thus recommend what treatment should be taken by the patient. In the early stage when the throbbing is mild, medication is generally recommended, and in the later stage when the throbbing is severe, most patients will choose microvascular decompression surgery for treatment, especially for those patients who have a clear responsible blood vessel found by MRI, which is the only way to cure facial myoclonia, and this surgery has less risk, more accurate results and fewer complications.
