Facial muscle tremors

Facial muscle tremors are usually spasms, and patients with facial paralysis do not have any expression. But if it is a spasm, there will be involuntary twitching. Don't panic too much, it's important to keep a good attitude. Physical therapy can be used to stimulate muscle activity, which is very effective. Ice stimulation is also very commonly used and very common in clinical practice. However, you need to pay attention to the frequency of stimulation and it should not be too much. Too much can worsen cramps.

If there are problems caused by calcium deficiency, calcium should be supplemented in time.

Guidance:

It is recommended that you try to avoid staying up late for a long time, take calcium carbonate or calcium gluconate orally, and supplement vitamin D for treatment.

This situation is caused by local muscle spasm caused by facial nerve dysfunction.

Guidance:

It is recommended to supplement vitamin B12 on a regular basis. If symptoms persist, acupuncture treatment is required to promote the recovery of nerve function.

It may be a manifestation of abnormal neurological function due to reasons such as overwork.

Guidance:

In this case, it is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid being nervous or overworked. You can go to the neurology department of a larger hospital for a detailed examination to clarify the cause and receive targeted treatment.

Hemifacial spasm, also known as facial muscle twitching, refers to the paroxysmal involuntary twitching of the facial muscles on one side. The cause of the disease is compression of the facial nerve root near the brainstem by abnormal blood vessels. It is rarely secondary to cerebellopontine angle tumors, hemangiomas, facial neuritis or unknown causes, and is more common in middle-aged people. Treatment principles: 1. Drug treatment; 2. Nerve blockade: ethanol solution blockade, botulinum toxin type A injection; 3. Surgical treatment; 4. Etiological treatment

There are many treatments for hemifacial spasm. Different conditions require different methods, that is, the right medicine for the right disease to achieve better results. Because patients are eager to cure their diseases, some people take advantage of their psychology and sell some incurable medicines or plasters to make money. Hemifacial spasm is not like ordinary colds, fevers and other diseases. It requires professional treatment to be cured. Medication, physical therapy or injections can be used in the early stage to avoid damage caused by traumatic treatment. Anti-epileptic drugs such as phenytoin sodium, general central nervous system sedatives, inhibitors and hormones have no significant therapeutic effect. Sedatives such as chlordiazepoxide and diazepam have a certain control effect on the disease in the early stage, and excessive dosage will cause permanent facial paralysis, and too little dosage will still relapse after 5 months. The effect is not obvious for patients with a longer medical history. These drugs can only temporarily control symptoms and cannot cure the disease. These are worth noting, please use with caution. There are many methods of injection, generally hormones, phenol glycerol, and botulinum toxin type A are injected. Repeated use will also produce antibodies and drug resistance, reducing or even ineffective efficacy. There may also be complications such as facial paralysis on the affected side.

The surgical methods include facial nerve decompression, facial nerve grooming, facial nerve trunk compression and branch cutting, facial nerve wire ligation, microvascular decompression, etc. However, surgery can also cause complications such as hematoma, hearing loss, diplopia and infection. Due to the complexity of the facial nerve, this surgery is unavoidable, and it is also difficult to avoid recurrence and ineffectiveness.

Traditional Chinese medicine currently has many therapeutic drugs and acupuncture treatment methods. The most important treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is to diagnose and treat the patient based on the specific situation of the patient, and it has certain clinical efficacy. Symptomatic treatment based on the cause of the disease and repairing the facial nerve are currently the most effective methods. This requires that Chinese medicine acupuncture techniques are very sophisticated. If acupuncture is not used well, it will also damage the facial nerve network and lead to the occurrence of late sequelae. It is recommended not to use acupuncture treatment in the early stages.
