“…Studies have found that the decrease of T suppressor cells and the increase of B lymphocytes in patients with facial neuritis, as well as the increase of serum chemokine concentrations, are evidence that there is a cell-mediated immune mechanism in facial neuritis.

The ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes (NLR) is one of the markers of inflammatory response, which reflects the inflammatory and immune status of the body.…”

Facial neuritis is a common clinical disease with high incidence, also known as Bell palsy or idiopathic facial nerve paralysis, which is an acute onset of peripheral facial neuropathy. In modern medicine, there have been obstacles to the effective treatment of facial neuritis. At present, the clinical use of Western medicine treatment is also a summary of clinical experience, the reason is that the cause of facial neuritis is unknown. Facial neuritis belongs to the category of “facial paralysis” in traditional Chinese medicine. For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has accumulated a lot of relevant treatment experience in the process of diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and the combination of acupuncture and medicine play an important role in the treatment of facial neuritis. This article discusses the treatment of facial neuritis with acupuncture combined with Chinese medicine, based on the research progress of modern medicine. In this review, we provide an overview of the effectiveness of acupuncture and medication combinations and facial neuritis with current studies investigating acupuncture and medication combinations in the treatment of facial neuritis.
