Abstract :

Encyclopedia of bioanalytical methods for bioavailability and bioequivalence studies of conditions such as Bell's palsy, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome and trigeminal neuralgia can have a major impact on the neuromuscular function of the face. These conditions can involve symptoms such as ptosis of the eyelid, loss of facial muscle function, pain, neuropathy and allodynia. Using a multifaceted approach involving, motor points, transverse sub-muscular needling, facial cupping and full-body acupuncture to treat these conditions can yield more effective treatments and long-lasting results than a singular approach.
