Abstract

This study investigates the role of integrative medicine in the treatment of facial neuritis, a neurological disorder that impairs facial nerve function and often leads to facial asymmetry and reduced quality of life. By combining conventional neurological therapies with complementary approaches such as acupuncture, nutritional supplementation, and physiotherapy, integrative medicine offers a holistic patient-centered model. A clinical study involving 20 patients was conducted to compare conventional treatment with integrative methods. The results demonstrate that integrative medicine enhances recovery rates, improves facial muscle function, and contributes to better patient-reported outcomes.
