OBSERVATION ON CLINICAL THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF SCALP ACUPUNCTURE FOR FACIAL SPASM

Objective; To observe clinical therapeutic effect of scalp acupuncture in the treatment of facial spasm. Methods： Sixty-five cases of facial spasm were randomly divided into control group （n = 31 ） and treatment group（n = 34）. Patients of the treatment group were treated with penetrative acupuncture from Qienshencong（前神聪 Extra） to Xuanli（悬厘 GB 6）, Baihui（百会 GV 20） to Qubin（曲鬓 GB 7）, etc., and those of control group treated with acupuncture of Taiyang（太阳 EX-HN 5）, Yengbai（阳白 GB 14）, Quanliao（颧髎 SI 18） and Xiaguan（下关 ST 7）, etc. once daily, 20 sessions altogether. Results. After treatment, of the 31 cases and 34 cases in control and treatment groups, 5 and 12 were cured, 8 and 13 had remarkable improvement, 11 and 8 had improvement, 7 and 1 failed, with the total effective rates being 77.42% and 97.06% respectively; and the therapeutic elfact of treatment group was significantly superior to that of control group（P〈0.01）. Conclusion; Scalp acupurcture has an obvious therapeutic effect for facial spasm.

87 CASES OF FACIAL SPASM TREATED WITH MILD ACUPUNCTURE

Facial spasm is clinically a commonly en-countered and obstinate disease. This diseasewas treated by mild acupuncture with a satisfac-tory therapeutic effect, as summarized in thefollowing.GENERAL DATAThere were 87 cases in total in this series,52 males. and 35 females. The oldest and theyoungest patients were 60 and 28 years old re-spectively. The longest and the shortest

SHALLOW NEEDLING USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF 35 CASES OF FACIAL SPASM

In the present paper, the authors sum up results of acupuncture treatment of 35 cases of facial spasm. Of the 35 cases, 14 were male and 21 female, ranging in age from 19 to 62 years and in the disease duration from 1 week to 21 years. Shallow needling was applied to the surrounding region of Ahshi points (the twitching locus), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3), etc., once daily, 4 weeks altogether. In addition, according to syndrome differentiation, other acupoints as Fengchi (GB 20), Waiguan (TE 5), Zusanli (ST 36), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), etc. were supplemented. After treatment, out of the 35 cases, 26 (74.3%) were cured, 5 (14.3%) experienced markedly improvement, and the rest 4 (11.4%) cases had a certain degree of amelioration. The key point for treating facial spasm is applying shallow needling around the twitching muscles.

Influence of distal portion compression of facial nerve in hemifacial spasm surgery

Objective To study influence of distal portion compression of facial nerve in hemifacial spasm surgery. Methods 120 hemifacial spasm patients were undergone lateral spread response monitoring during microvascular decompression surgery. 39 patients’LSR remained after decompression of the root exit zone of the facial nerve.

Intermittent facial spasms as the presenting sign of a recurrent pleomorphic adenoma

The intimate anatomical relationship of the facial nerve to the parotid parenchyma has a significant influence on the presenting signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of parotid neoplasms.However, to our knowledge, hyperactivity of this nerve, presenting as facial spasm, has never been described as the presenting sign or symptom of a parotid malignancy.We report a case of carcinoma arising in a recurrent pleomorphic adenoma of the left parotid gland(i.e., carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma) that presented with hemifacial spasms.We outline the differential diagnosis of hemifacial spasm as well as a proposed pathophysiology.Facial paralysis, lymph node enlargement, skin involvement, and pain have all been associated with parotid malignancies.To date the development of facial spasm has not been reported with parotid malignancies.The most common etiologies for hemifacial spasm are vascular compression of the ipsilateral facial nerve at the cerebellopontine angle(termed primary or idiopathic)(62%), hereditary(2%), secondary to Bell's palsy or facial nerve injury(17%), and hemifacial spasm mimickers(psychogenic, tics, dystonia, myoclonus, myokymia, myorthythmia, and hemimasticatory spasm)(17%).Hemifacial spasm has not been reported in association with a malignant parotid tumor but must be considered in the differential diagnosis of this presenting symptom.

Treatment of 53 Cases of Facial Spasm with Acupuncture

Fifty-three patients with facial spasm were treated by acupuncture therapy. Taichong （LR 3）, Fengchi （GB 20）, Yifeng （TE 17）, and Sanyinjiao （SP 6） were selected as main points, and others points were selected based on symptom. Of the 53 cases, 9 cases were cured, 13 cases were markedly effective, 27 cases were effective, and 4 cases were ineffective, with an effective rate of 92.5%.

Therapeutic observation of superficial needling for hemifacial spasm

Objective： To observe the therapeutic efficacy of superficial needling in treating hemifacial spasm. Methods： Eighty patients with facial spasm were randomized into two groups by the random number table, 40 cases in each group. The observation group was intervened by superficial needling at local Ashi points and wrist-ankle acupuncture at the Upper 1, Upper 2 and Upper 3 points; while the control group was by ordinary acupuncture. For both groups, the treatment was given once a day, 7 times as a treatment course, and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after 3 courses. Results： The total effective rate and recovery rate were respectively 97.5% and 57.5% in the observation group versus 85.0% and 37.5% in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Superficial needling can produce a more significant efficacy in treating hemifacial spasm than ordinary acupuncture.

The needles were retained for 30 min, once a day, fifteen days as a treatment course. After 2 courses, the effect was assessed. Result One hundred and twenty-eight cases were cured, accounting for 64.0%; 49 cases had marked efficacy, accounting for 24.5%; 19 cases were improved, accounting for 9.5%; 4 cases were ineffective, accounting for 2.0%. Conclusion Smoothing the liver and activating the qi along with syndrome differentiation produces rapid and ideal curative effect in the acupuncture for facial spasm

基于3D Slicer的多模态影像融合技术及神经电生理监测在面肌痉挛微血管减压术中的应用

目的探讨基于3D Slicer的多模态影像融合技术及神经电生理监测在面肌痉挛微血管减压术中的应用价值。方法采用回顾性分析法,选取41例行血管减压术的面肌痉挛患者为研究对象。术前通过3D Slicer软件对责任血管进行多模态影像融合分析,确定手术方案,术中进行神经电生理监测以判断减压。观察手术效果并追踪术后复发情况。结果术前建模图像发现40例存在微血管压迫,1例未见微血管压迫。未见微血管压迫的1例经术中证实为岩静脉压迫,1例小脑前下动脉经术中证实为小脑上动脉,其余责任血管判定均与术中所见一致。术前建模图像的责任血管判定正确39例,正确率为95%。41例患者经手术治疗后症状均完全缓解,完全缓解率为100%。术后住院期间1例发生面瘫,1例发生听力下降,经对症处理后很快缓解,术后随访3~36个月无复发。结论在面肌痉挛微血管减压术中联合应用多模态影像融合技术可直观了解责任血管及周围重要结构解剖情况,配合神经电生理监测可避免术中减压过度或不充分的情况,两项技术的联合应用可有效提高手术疗效。
