How to choose the right treatment for facial muscle spasm

  For many diseases, there are multiple treatment methods, especially for diseases such as facial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia, tremor palsy, and epilepsy, many patients and their families do not know which treatment method to choose after being diagnosed, and some doctors and specialists do not give a clear answer, or the mother-in-law’s reasoning or the public’s reasoning, resulting in patients and families appearing confused in choosing treatment, and sometimes It is difficult to avoid repeated expenses.  When the disease is cured, they sigh with emotion and say that they have spent a lot of money in vain. This, of course, is also due to the economic conditions and psychological effects of the patients and their families. It is a common psychology to be able to cure a big disease with a small amount of money, and not to do surgery without risk, which is often said to have a sickness. Today’s society is so advanced and developed that it is possible to seek medical treatment more scientifically, more precisely and economically.  As far as the current treatment methods are concerned, they are generally divided into two categories, one is surgical treatment, one is non-surgical treatment, or invasive treatment and non-invasive treatment, and then subdivided. We can take facial spasm as an example to illustrate this problem, and hope it can help the majority of patients.  At present, there are several basic methods for treating facial spasm: Chinese medicine treatment; oral treatment with sedative drugs such as carbamazepine, clonazepam, baclofen; botulinum toxin injection; surgical treatment, etc. We cannot deny that that treatment is wrong, there are certain treatment principles, and also have certain efficacy, but the cure rate or surgery, which is currently confirmed by a large number of international and domestic curing records.  Some patients believe that “facial spasm can be cured without surgery”, and go to receive prescription treatment, injection treatment, long-term drug treatment, can not be said to be wrong, the key depends on the patient’s psychological expectations, if you only want to control the seizure, willing to take long-term drugs, do not worry about the consequences of long-term drug use is OK, the problem is that when long-term drug use of various side effects The problem is that when there are various side effects of long-term medication, the medication has to be stopped, and after the medication is stopped, there is a relapse, some are not willing to operate, or do not have the conditions or do not want to accept the higher medical costs at once, and endure the pain of multiple sites and longer injections, and also the convulsions are controlled, but after a period of time there is a relapse.  The reason for this is very simple: the problem is not solved at the root. Modern medical research has confirmed that compression or inflammation of the facial nerve by blood vessels and swellings in the area out of the brain has led to changes in the demyelination of the facial nerve and short-circuit discharge of the nerve, which is the root cause of facial muscle spasm. Removing these compressions and causes is the key and fundamental to completely cure this disease.  However, it is not guaranteed to be 100%, but over 95% can be completely cured. Modern advanced equipment, such as MRI and EMG, can diagnose this cause, and the surgical microscope has made the surgery easier and more precise, making it a minor neurosurgical procedure.
