顽固性面瘫又称难治性面瘫、重症面瘫，多指面瘫后，治疗2个月以上，仍有较严重的面神经损伤症状。顽固性面瘫一般是患周围性面瘫后神经受损部位较高、治疗不及时等原因导致的，虽不危及生命，但长期影响患者的面貌，使患者产生严重的心理负担，如精神紧张、焦虑恐惧、抑郁不安、生活及工作态度消极等负面情绪，给患者及其家属带来极大痛苦。基于此，本文将对疏肝健脾法针刺治疗顽固性面瘫的机制进行探析，以为后续临床治疗提供依据。Refractory facial paralysis, also known as intractable facial paralysis or severe facial paralysis, generally refers to the situation where, after the onset of facial paralysis, and with more than two months of treatment, there are still relatively severe symptoms of facial nerve damage. Refractory facial paralysis is usually caused by factors such as a relatively high level of nerve damage in the area affected by peripheral facial paralysis and untimely treatment. Although it does not pose a threat to life, it has a long-term impact on the appearance of patients, causing them to bear a serious psychological burden. For example, they may experience negative emotions such as mental stress, anxiety and fear, depression and restlessness, and a negative attitude towards life and work, bringing great pain to both patients and their families. Based on this, this article will analyze the mechanism of acupuncture treatment for refractory facial paralysis using the method of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, so as to provide a basis for subsequent clinical treatment.
