How long does acupuncture for facial paralysis work is related to the patient’s condition and physical fitness. Generally speaking, if the condition is mild and the patient’s physical fitness is good, acupuncture will work faster, 20 days to 1 month, on the contrary, acupuncture will work slower, and it may take 3-4 months or even longer. 1. Condition: Simple facial paralysis, with mild symptoms and no viral infection, acupuncture treatment works faster, usually 20 days to a month or so; if facial paralysis is more serious with viral infection, acupuncture works slower, and usually takes three or four months or even longer. 2. Physical condition: If the patient is in good physical condition and has strong resistance, acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis will work faster, and vice versa, it will work slower. If facial paralysis occurs suddenly, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, do relevant examinations to clarify whether there is a viral infection, and use acupuncture for treatment, and the recovery period can be combined with the nutritional nerve treatment, to avoid the development of the disease, delaying the recovery of the disease. Acupuncture and moxibustion clinical treatment should be carried out by a professional physician, do not operate on your own.
