中医药分期论治周围性面神经炎的临床研究进展
Clinical Research Progress on the Staging and Treatment of Peripheral Facial Neuritis Using Traditional Chinese Medicine

周围性面神经炎是多发于单侧的不同程度的面神经炎性水肿卡压、缺血受损而出现以额纹消失、闭眼不合、口角歪斜等为主症的临床常见神经系统相关性疾病之一，属于祖国传统医学“面瘫”的范畴。西药治疗以激素为主，虽然疗效确切，但激素所致的不良副作用亦严重影响患者的健康。而运用中医药分期治疗本病，其临床治疗效果令人满意，具有明显的特色与优势。因此，笔者通过检索近十年中医药疗法分期论治周围性面神经炎的相关研究进行综述，希冀为本病患者提供有效的、适应症广的治疗方案。
Peripheral facial neuritis is one of the common clinical neurological related diseases that often oc-cur on one side, with varying degrees of inflammatory edema and compression, ischemic damage, and main symptoms such as disappearance of frontal folds, incompatible closure of eyes, and crooked corners of the mouth, belonging to the category of facial paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine treatment mainly focuses on hormones. Although the therapeutic ef-fect is definite, the adverse effects caused by hormones also seriously affect the health of patients. The use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat this disease in stages has a satisfactory clinical treatment effect and obvious characteristics and advantages. Therefore, the author reviewed the relevant research on the staging and treatment of peripheral facial neuritis using traditional Chi-nese medicine therapy in the past decade, hoping to provide effective and widely applicable treat-ment plans for patients with this disease.
