本研究综述了火龙罐灸治疗周围性面神经炎的研究进展。周围性面神经炎导致的面部运动障碍会影响患者形象、降低患者生活质量。临床上常用针刺进行治疗，但针刺易导致皮下渗血和组织增生。火龙罐灸将艾灸、刮痧和按摩集于一体，对疾病进行综合治疗，能够改善针刺的皮下渗血和组织增生，促进面部血液循环、提高神经兴奋性、抗炎抗病毒、提升免疫力、改善患者消极情绪、调和五行，临床应用效果良好。本文分析了火龙罐灸治疗周围性面瘫的优势和不足，并提出了完善策略，以期为临床应用提供参考。Facial motor dysfunction caused by peripheral facial neuritis can affect the patient’s appearance and reduce their quality of life. Acupuncture is commonly used in clinical practice for treatment, but it is prone to causing subcutaneous bleeding and tissue proliferation. The Fire Dragon Canister Moxibustion integrates the main therapeutic methods for peripheral facial palsy, namely moxibustion, gua sha, and massage, into a comprehensive treatment approach. It can improve the subcutaneous bleeding and tissue proliferation caused by acupuncture, promote facial blood circulation, enhance nerve excitability, exert anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, boost immunity, improve the patient’s negative emotions, and harmonize the five elements. The clinical application has shown good results. This article reviews the research progress of Fire Dragon Canister Moxibustion in the treatment of peripheral facial neuritis, elaborates on its therapeutic effects and clinical significance, analyzes its advantages and limitations in treating peripheral facial palsy, and proposes strategies for improvement to provide references for clinical application.
