针刺促进面神经损伤修复的机制研究进展

Progress of the Mechanism of Acupuncture to Promote Repair of Facial Nerve Injury

面神经损伤可引起面部表情肌的运动功能障碍,严重影响了患者的社交和生活。针刺作为治疗面神经损伤的有效方法,其作用机制尚不十分明确。笔者通过总结近十年针刺干预治疗面神经损伤的相关文献,发现针刺可通过调整患者面部肌电波型、改善面部血液循环、促进细胞和蛋白分子表达等多途径促进面神经损伤修复,为阐明针刺干预促进面神经损伤修复和指导针灸临床医生治疗面神经损伤提供思路。

Facial nerve injury results in facial muscle movement disorders that interferes with patient＇s life. Acupuncture is an effective therapy for facial nerve injury, but its mechanism has not been clarified. The evidence supports that acupuncture can accelerate the repair of facial nerve injury by adjusting the electric wave of patient＇s facial muscle, improving facial blood circulation, and promoting the expression of cell and protein molecule.
