ABSTRACT

Peripheral facial paralysis refers to facial paralysis caused by pathological changes in the motor fibers of the facial nerve, which is a kind of neural deficiency symptom caused by facial nerve damage leading to facial muscle paralysis. The clinical manifestations are enlarged palpebral fissure, shallower nasolabial folds, drooping mouth corner, drooling, and inability to smoothly perform actions such as frowning, closing eyes, and whistling. Untimely treatment can easily lead to facial paralysis, which seriously affects the patient's facial appearance and daily life. Peripheral facial paralysis has high incidence rate, long disease course, slow recovery, and it brings a huge mental burden to patients, affecting their quality of life, and also induces severe negative emotions. At present, there is still a lack of radical cure for this disease. Studies have found that traditional Chinese medicine nursing techniques have special effects in the care of patients with peripheral facial paralysis. Therefore, it is of great significance to take effective nursing measures for patients with peripheral facial paralysis in a timely manner, to let patients recover as soon as possible, and to improve their quality of life. In our department, we treated this case of peripheral facial nerve paralysis. In addition to the routine symptomatic treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, we intervened the patient's facial paralysis symptoms based on the basic theory of Huangdi's Inner Needle combined with moxibustion and drug egg rolling therapy. The combined treatment effect of this case is satisfactory and provides a reference for clinical nursing of peripheral facial nerve paralysis.
