Abstract:
Facial nerve injury results in facial muscle movement disorders that interferes with patient's life. Acupuncture is an effective therapy for facial nerve injury, but its mechanism has not been clarified. The evidence supports that acupuncture can accelerate the repair of facial nerve injury by adjusting the electric wave of patient's facial muscle, improving facial blood circulation, and promoting the expression of cell and protein molecule.
