Experience of Professor GAO Shuzhong in treating facial neuritis, trigeminal neuralgia and facial spasm with combination of acupuncture and medicinals were introduced. Professor GAO holds that although these three diseases are all located on the face, there are many differences in clinical treatment. Facial neuritis is located in sinew channels and can be divided into two types: extracranial and intracranial. The extracranial facial neuritis is mainly exogenous and caused by wind pathogens. Intracranial facial neuritis is often due to mixed external and internal injuries. The principles are dispelling wind and dredging collaterals, regulating visceral functions, and dredging sinew channels, and acupuncture and medicinals should be applied together. Trigeminal neuralgia is located in the trigeminal nerve deeply. It is usually caused by wind pathogens and excess fire. The treatment is based on the principle of dispelling wind and purging fire, unblocking channels and collaterals and relieving pain, and acupuncture should be combined with medicinals and bloodletting therapy. Facial spasm is located in the muscle. It is usually caused by wind pathogens, including external wind invasion, or deficiency wind stirring internally. The treatment is based on the principle of relaxing sinews and unblocking collaterals, extinguishing wind and stopping convulsions. Suspended needle therapy combined with internal administration of Chinese medicinals and foot three-toe needling and bloodletting should be applied.
