China's traditional Chinese medicine to

        The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture therapy has thousands of years of history, the ancient and modern history view, the acupuncture therapy on peripheral facial paralysis has a lot of records and clinical reports, clinical practice shows that peripheral facial paralysis is also one of the acupuncture indications. However, for more than twenty years of peripheral facial paralysis of traditional Chinese and western medicine is put forward in the acute phase "should not be within a week of acupuncture treatment of" point of view, the author thinks that say wrong, now will be to "acupuncture should be in a week after the" point of view put forward views and question list as follows, and are colleagues.

        The literature of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM treatment within a week without negative facial paralysis that: from the "yellow emperor" to now the national higher education of TCM colleges and universities teaching material, the traditional Chinese medicine, the effect of acupuncture therapy on peripheral facial paralysis without doubt or within one week of acupuncture treatment should not be put forward the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture therapy on peripheral facial paralysis that has clear the meridians, to reconcile blood cold, wind scattered, moisten the meridians, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and action. In the medical records of acupuncture therapy on peripheral facial paralysis many, is one of the first clinical therapy, it is considered that acupuncture has definite effect, has good curative effect, non-toxic side effects, simple test water, indications is wide, and the patient received by counterparts. The facial paralysis today is still acupuncture clinic patients in one of the most common diseases.

        Western medicine the so-called "acupuncture treatment should be in a week after the" view of the origin: western medicine for nearly twenty years in the acute phase of inflammation, edema period is not directly but implicit acupuncture treatment can't up diminish inflammation, swelling elimination effect, then said to the patient clinical doctor directly in the acute phase of acupuncture treatment has worse, cannot have the antiphlogistic and elimination edema function, or even leave facial spasm sequela point of view, and even later development to public reports. The author consult relevant material, found that since the 1980 s, there is little or no before the above viewpoint, since the 1980 s appear afore-mentioned point of view. As the traditional Chinese medicine in jiangsu, 2009, 7 period 85 published the electric acupuncture treatment of peripheral facial paralysis in time and waveform selection of clinical research progress "in the article, pick" intervention time... the needle that scholars think, in the acute period use electric acupuncture treatment may promote inflammation edema and degeneration, cause all sorts of side effects, make the not beautiful, and easy cause facial spasm ".

        The author also directly or indirectly hear there are a lot of western medicine special nerve physicians in the acute phase of facial paralysis patients under general within a week can't acupuncture treatment of the doctor's advice, nearly ten years of acupuncture in boundary colleague in the academic point of view also has produced certain effect and doubt, to the acute phase disapprove of interventional therapy and acupuncture, they mainly by western medicine the academic point of view, the effect of acupuncture on acute phase that can have anti-inflammatory and elimination edema statement.

        Acupuncture can in a week the mechanism of therapy on peripheral facial paralysis: across the western medicine neuritis exact etiology has not yet clear, but is generally accepted that may be caused by cold invasion stem mastoid hole tissue edema, or local nutrition neural angiogenesis convulsion, cause nerve ischemia, edema, oppressed and pathogenic. The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine also think the disease and face by cold, catch a cold related, context empty, cold evil invade the Yang Ming, shaoyang meridians to facial qi block, the meridians, alongwith, muscle longitudinal slow not to receive and send for the disease. "Chinese acupuncture" and other traditional Chinese medicine journal reported the paralysis, many from different angles, and side, the research of acupuncture therapy on peripheral facial paralysis. According to modern clinical study found that temperature acupuncture can quickly eliminate or improve local tissue edema, congestion, seepage, adhesion, contracture, ischemia and pathological changes, thus speeding up blood circulation, promote metabolism, make the diseased tissue and nerve to repair, so the paralysis has very good therapeutic effect. The study also showed that the degree of facial nerve injury and damage of the plane, and generally damage section, the higher the degree of damage is heavier, the worse the effect of acupuncture. Facial nerve injury level, but also on stem mastoid hole acute inflammatory edema degree and duration, edema time longer, the greater the degree of heavy, facial nerve compression time is long, the fluidity and difficult to restore facial nerve. As in the acute phase give facial a benign stimulation, make compression nerve produce excited, accelerate the inflammation local lymph and blood circulation, increase metabolism, improve the damaged facial nerve and facial nutrition status, so as to promote the absorption of facial nerve inflammation and edema, shorten the facial nerve compression time, which increases the chance to recover facial nerve.
