掀针疗法在难治性面瘫治疗中的理论应用

Theoretical Application of Lifting Needle Therapy in the Treatment of Refractory Facial Paralysis

摘要: 面瘫，医学上称为面神经麻痹，是一种常见的神经系统疾病，其特征为面部表情肌肉的无力或瘫痪。根据美国国家医学图书馆的数据，面瘫的年发病率为每10万人中约有20至30例，且不受年龄、性别或种族的限制。面瘫的医学定义涉及面神经的损伤或炎症，导致面部一侧或双侧肌肉运动功能丧失，患者可能经历闭眼困难、口角歪斜、流涎、味觉障碍等症状。在治疗难治性面瘫时，掀针疗法作为一种非药物、非手术的替代疗法，其理论基础和临床应用正在逐渐受到医学界的关注。该疗法通过特定的针刺技术，旨在刺激面部神经和肌肉，恢复其功能。本文意旨分析掀针疗法在难治性面瘫治疗中的理论依据，为治疗难治性面瘫提供新的依据。

Abstract: Facial paralysis, medically known as facial nerve paralysis, is a common neurological disease characterized by weakness or paralysis of facial expression muscles. According to the data of the National Library of Medicine, the annual incidence rate of facial paralysis is about 20 to 30 cases per 100,000 people, regardless of age, gender or race. The medical definition of facial paralysis involves damage or inflammation of the facial nerve, resulting in loss of muscle movement function on one or both sides of the face. Patients may experience symptoms such as difficulty closing their eyes, crooked corners of the mouth, drooling, and taste disorders. In the treatment of refractory facial paralysis, lifting needle therapy, as a non pharmacological and non-surgical alternative therapy, is gradually receiving attention from the medical community in terms of its theoretical basis and clinical application. This therapy uses specific acupuncture techniques aimed at stimulating facial nerves and muscles to restore their function. The purpose of this article is to analyze the theoretical basis of lifting needle therapy in the treatment of refractory facial paralysis, and provide new evidence for the treatment of refractory facial paralysis.
