In general, patients who have not recovered from facial paralysis for 1 month are very prone to facial muscle spasms, mainly involuntary jumping at the corners of the mouth. Many patients have concerns that further acupuncture will aggravate the spasm. But at this time, the local muscle strength of the corners of the mouth is actually still in a low state, if you stop acupuncture treatment at this time is not conducive to complete recovery, the spasm will further aggravate, so it is best to do local acupuncture treatment on the one hand, on the other hand, to do further acupuncture conditioning of the spasm symptoms, both aspects should be balanced in order to achieve the best results. This type of patient usually takes more than 3 months to treat and is a refractory type, which is also very common in clinical practice. Some patients may suspect that the facial muscle spasm is caused by too much acupuncture stimulation, but this is actually a misconception. In most cases, it is caused by prolonged loss of nourishment and disuse atrophy of facial palsy muscles, which is one of the complications secondary to facial palsy, and can be relieved by acupuncture and nerve-nourishing medication, but usually cannot be cured.
