Facial palsy is categorized into central and peripheral. Central facial palsy occurs in cerebrovascular lesions, and facial symptoms are only one of the manifestations, along with other limb symptoms or neurological symptoms. Peripheral facial palsy generally refers to primary idiopathic facial nerve palsy. The two types of facial paralysis are different in terms of location, cause, and condition, and therefore have different treatment options and prognosis. Peripheral facial palsy can be cured through timely diagnosis and treatment, while central facial palsy is more important to treat the primary brain disease in addition to localized treatment, and its recovery depends on the change of the primary disease. Both types of facial paralysis can be treated with medication combined with acupuncture, physical and rehabilitation therapy. Drug therapy: For peripheral facial nerve palsy caused by facial neuritis, antiviral therapy can be used if the infection is viral, and at the same time, injections or oral therapy with nerve nutrients, B vitamins and other drugs can be used. Glucocorticoids can be used for short-term treatment for patients without contraindications. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: early use of heat and detoxification, wind and collaterals of traditional Chinese medicine, after the acute phase of the use of blood circulation, collaterals and qi and other methods, together with Western medicine can effectively alleviate the symptoms and speed up the recovery. Acupuncture treatment: Early acupuncture treatment can reduce the inflammatory reaction and promote the recovery of nerve function, and it is recommended to be treated by professional acupuncturists. Physical therapy: commonly used ultrashort wave, low and medium frequency electrotherapy, laser, drug introduction, etc., which has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect. Rehabilitation therapy: Hot compresses can be applied to the affected side to promote local blood circulation. When the facial muscles start to recover, it is necessary to do muscle training of facial muscles, mainly training the expression muscles, do opening eyes, wrinkling forehead, sucking, cocking lips, whistling, pouting lips, opening mouth and other actions, each time about 20min, 1-2 times a day, until the final recovery. While actively taking medication, care should be strengthened to prevent direct wind blowing on the face; when the patient has incomplete eyelid closure, attention should be paid to the protection of the patient’s eyes, and an eye mask should be used if necessary; attention should be paid to rest, preventing overwork; and the diet should be light, avoiding spicy and greasy diet. To sum up, facial paralysis is not difficult to cure, but due to the difference of patient’s age, physical condition and underlying diseases, some patients will have sequelae, therefore, after discovering the symptoms, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time, make a clear diagnosis, and adopt a comprehensive treatment, which can effectively reduce the sequelae and shorten the recovery time.
