In daily life, if you repeat an action for a long time, suddenly increase the amount of exercise, or start an unfamiliar exercise, it may make local muscles into a state of fatigue, leading to muscle spasms. When muscles are tired, the oxygen reserves that maintain the contraction and relaxation functions of muscle fibers are exhausted, and the wastes produced by muscle activities cannot be removed in time. Muscle tissue, which was originally dominated by consciousness, will enter a reactive contraction state without listening to instructions and making decisions by itself.

How to treat muscle spasm?

1, drug therapy: taking drugs reasonably according to the doctor's instructions is a good way to relieve the symptoms of hemifacial spasm. Generally speaking, sedatives, diazepam and antiepileptic drugs such as diazepam, lumina, carbamazepine and phenytoin sodium can alleviate the symptoms of a few patients. Muscle relaxants such as chlorzoxazone also have certain effects.

2. Botulinum botulinum injection therapy: Botulinum botulinum toxin A is injected into facial motor nerve endings to produce muscle flaccid paralysis, thus achieving the purpose of spasmolysis. Spasm was quickly relieved in a short time after injection, and no side effects were found after repeated injection.

3, microvascular decompression: the surgical method is to enter the skull through the retromastoid approach, separate the facial nerve root from the nerve root, and separate the microvascular with a small piece of gelatin sponge, thus eliminating the oppression and stimulation to the blood vessels and facial nerve, which is a treatment for the cause.

4. Triple injection therapy: What are the treatments for hemifacial spasm? Triple injection therapy is a hemifacial spasm therapy we adopt in practice. The main method is to selectively and pertinently inject relevant drugs at stylomastoid foramen, the midpoint of preauricular folds or the facial movement points detected by special methods according to the specific conditions of patients, so as to effectively relieve hemifacial spasm.

5.SDT stereotactic therapy: Combining stereotactic technology and factor repair technology, the damaged facial cells are repaired and the regeneration of facial nerve cells is promoted through targeted coordinates and laser principle.

6. Physical therapy: This method is particularly beneficial to relieve hemifacial spasm, and patients should pay attention to it. Calcium iontophoresis or advection electrical stimulation can alleviate the symptoms of some patients. In recent years, radiofrequency therapy temporarily interrupts the conduction function of facial nerve through radiofrequency thermocoagulation, thus stopping epileptic seizures. There may be mild facial paralysis after operation, but it can generally be recovered within 36 months.
