Abstract: Meige syndrome is an extrapyramidal disorder first described by French neurologist Henry Meige. The symptoms of most patients are characterized by bilateral blepharospasm combined with facial muscle tone disorders such as involuntary movements caused by oral and mandibular tension dis-orders. Patients are often accompanied by sleep disorders and anxiety, which seriously affect their quality of life. The disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, of which the incidence rate of women is higher than that of men, and the ratio of men to women is about 1:3. At present, western medicine treatment includes oral sedative drugs, local injection of botulinum toxin type A, surgery, etc. There are obvious limitations and side effects, and many pa-tients can not accept the above western medicine treatment, so the author introduces a case of ac-upuncture and moxibustion treatment of Meige syndrome below.
