Effectiveness of Low-frequency Pulse Electrical Stimulation Combined with Dexamethasone in Treating Facial Nerve Paralysis and Its Impact on Facial Nerve Function and Electromyography.
The integration of low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation with dexamethasone therapy significantly ameliorates the severity of facial nerve paralysis, enhances facial nerve function, and improves electromyographic signals in facial muscles without increasing adverse effects. These findings support the clinical value and safety of this combined treatment approach for facial nerve paralysis, suggesting its suitability for broader clinical application. These results suggest that this combined treatment approach holds promise for broader clinical application, potentially providing a more effective and safer therapeutic option for patients with facial nerve paralysis. Implementing this approach in clinical practice may lead to improved treatment outcomes, better functional recovery, and enhanced quality of life for affected individuals.
