Facial paralysis itself is an acute disease, and people cannot predict the signal of facial paralysis in advance. However, if we can understand the causes of facial paralysis, we can help prevent facial paralysis to a great extent.
How did facial paralysis happen? What factors are related to it?
The occurrence of facial paralysis is first stimulated by cold, and people's facial skin is inherently fragile. After being stimulated by cold, it may lead to facial paralysis, which in turn leads to facial paralysis.
There are still many people who insist on washing their faces with cold water in winter, saying that washing their faces with cold water is good for facial skin. However, what we don't know is that long-term cold stimulation will damage people's facial nerves. It is suggested that cold stimulation should be avoided as much as possible in life, especially when cold water directly contacts the skin, resulting in facial paralysis symptoms.
The essence of facial paralysis is actually neuropathic facial paralysis inflammation. If there is virus infection in human body, it may also lead to facial paralysis, especially herpes virus will directly invade human facial skin, causing damage to human nervous system, leading to facial neuritis and facial paralysis.
Nerve injury may also occur after a person's face is greatly stimulated, especially in the case of trauma, which is more prone to nerve injury and will lead to signs of facial paralysis after serious injury.
There are many reasons for facial paralysis. The central nervous system of human brain is damaged, which may also lead to facial paralysis. Problems such as cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage may cause damage to the central nervous system of the human brain. Infants and young children suffer from meningitis due to viral infection at a very young age, and may also suffer from facial paralysis.
therapeutic method
1. drug therapy
Except phenytoin sodium or carbamazepine may be effective for some mild patients, general central sedatives, inhibitors and hormones have no obvious effect.
2. Chinese medicine acupuncture
It is best not to use acupuncture for hemifacial spasm, because the disease itself is afraid of stimulation. Sometimes acupuncture will aggravate the condition. Some people are effective at that time, but the recurrence will be serious in the future. You can eat B 1 and B 12, and the effect is not great.
Botulinum toxin injection
It can control hemifacial spasm to some extent. Generally, one injection can be controlled for up to one year. Long-term injection will produce drug resistance. Moreover, because botulinum toxin A can paralyze facial nerve and cause artificial facial paralysis, facial spasm will also be controlled.
4. Surgical treatment
Professor Janata of America pioneered microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm. This is a common radical treatment method for HFS in neurosurgery in the world. If blood vessels with clear responsibilities are found during the operation, the blood vessels that may compress the nerves should be treated and decompressed.
