针灸治疗面肌痉挛研究进展

Advances of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Facial Spasm

面肌痉挛是面神经支配的一侧面部肌肉反复发作性不随意收缩,不仅影响美观,还影响患者的生活质量社交活动。近年来,治疗面肌痉挛的针灸方法较多,常与西医治疗方法对照,不论是从传统针刺手法、特殊针刺手法,还是从针具的使用,都强调针灸治疗的总体疗效显著,且较西医口服药、手术对本病治疗有不良作用小、无创伤性的优势,能够加速面肌痉挛的康复。

Hemifacial spasm is a recurrent involuntary contraction of facial nerve-dominated side muscles, which not only affects the beauty, but also affects the quality of life and social activities of patients. In recent years, there are many methods of acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of hemifacial spasm, which are often compared with those of western medicine. Traditional acupuncture manipulation, special acupuncture manipulation, or the use of needles, all emphasize that the overall effect of acupuncture treatment is remarkable. Compared with oral medicine and operation of western medicine, it has less adverse effect and non-traumatic advantages. It can accelerate the recovery of hemifacial spasm and is worthy of clinical application.
