Effect of warm needling therapy and acupuncture in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Progress in treatment of facial neuritis by acupuncture combined with medicine from the perspective of modern medicine: A review

Facial neuritis is a common clinical disease with high incidence, also known as Bell palsy or idiopathic facial nerve paralysis, which is an acute onset of peripheral facial neuropathy. In modern medicine, there have been obstacles to the effective treatment of facial neuritis. At present, the clinical use of Western medicine treatment is also a summary of clinical experience, the reason is that the cause of facial neuritis is unknown. Facial neuritis belongs to the category of "facial paralysis" in traditional Chinese medicine. For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has accumulated a lot of relevant treatment experience in the process of diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and the combination of acupuncture and medicine play an important role in the treatment of facial neuritis. This article discusses the treatment of facial neuritis with acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine, based on the research progress of modern medicine. In this review, we provide an overview of the effectiveness of acupuncture and medication combinations and facial neuritis with current studies investigating acupuncture and medication combinations in the treatment of facial neuritis.

Electron Microscope Observation of Acupuncture and Nerve Repair in the Treatment of Peripheral Facial Paralysis

The repair of peripheral facial paralysis is a long-term problem in neurosurgery, and nerve repair is often needed. Due to the high differentiation of nerve tissue and the slow regeneration of peripheral nerve fibers, the repair effect after peripheral nerve injury is not ideal. In recent years, studies have found that the inflammatory response after peripheral nerve injury also has an important impact on the repair of peripheral nerve defects. This study depends on the utilization of traditional needle therapy in the treatment of fringe facial loss of motion, and the clinical adequacy of needle therapy in addition to nerve fix in the intense period of fringe facial loss of motion was seen with an electron magnifying lens. Endeavor to give significant exploration results to the clinical treatment of fringe facial loss of motion gives a straightforward, simple, protected, and successful new treatment innovation for the clinical treatment of the infection and enriches the treatment plan for peripheral facial paralysis. Transmission electron microscopy observations showed that 21 days after the artificial nerve was repaired, the nerve injury showed different degrees of recovery, and the myelin sheath was forming and gradually wrapping the new axons, which was similar to the catheter group (NC) and hydrogel group (HC). In contrast, the myelin layer of the fibroblast group (FHC) is more obvious, and the repair effect is better. In the maintenance of fringe nerve surrenders, irritation is an unavoidable interaction, and moderate needle therapy is useful to advance the maintenance of fringe nerve abandons. Talking about the law of nerve fix reaction in fringe nerve imperfection fix is helpful to the examination of fringe nerve deformity fix. Tests have shown that utilizing needle therapy and moxibustion joined with nerve fixes has accomplished great outcomes in the treatment of fringe facial loss of motion, and the patient's recuperation rate has expanded by over 30%.

Acupuncture Medical Therapy and its Underlying Mechanisms: A Systematic Review

As a traditional Chinese alternative health care approach, acupuncture is gaining increasing attention and reputation in China and overseas. While becoming increasingly popular globally, some consumers and professionals still know little about the therapy and underlying mechanisms of acupuncture. Due to local superiority, there are large numbers of both clinical applications and mechanistic studies performed in China compared to countries overseas. Herein, this review attempts to give a comprehensive profile of the development, application, and mechanisms of acupuncture in treating major diseases. The number of clinical publications concerning acupuncture-treated neurological diseases, endocrine and metabolic diseases, circulatory diseases, respiratory diseases, etc. is first counted, and then, the application and therapeutic mechanisms of acupuncture on the predominant diseases in each category, including obesity, facial paralysis, sciatica, depression, hypertension, asthma, etc., are specifically discussed in this paper. The evolution of acupuncture tools and the rationality of acupoints are also discussed. This review not only summarizes the mechanisms of acupuncture but also provides useful information, such as specific acupoints and acupuncture procedures, for treating common diseases. Therefore, the current study provides useful information for both investigators and acupuncturists.
