Abstract:
This paper introduces chief physician of traditional Chinese medicine WANG Yigang's clinical experience in treating peripheral facial palsy in the acute stage with acupuncture-medication-combined therapy.Professor WANG believes that the pathogenesis of facial paralysis in the early stage is mostly the external invasion of wind and pathogenic toxins and the internal disturbance of dampness and toxins,resulting in the obstruction of collaterals and muscle regions of meridians.The treatment should be guided by the"unity of form(body)and spirit(Shen)",paying attention to the movement of the spirit,dispelling evils,and regulating the spirit.Professor WANG believes that when the spirit initiates,the healthy Qi is strong,and the pathogen subsides.In the treatment,he is good at combining acupuncture and medication for a synergistic effect,stresses the use of scalp points,and coins the empirical point Miandong(Extra).At the same time,he does not restrict himself to the traditional needling method and treats facial paralysis with"dynamic retention acupuncture".
