Meige syndrome (MS) is a cranial dystonia disorder characterized by blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia. Current treatments include botulinum toxin therapy, oral medications, and surgical interventions. Here, we present a case that the patient's symptoms improved significantly after treatment with acupuncture.
A 72-year-old woman came to our acupuncture clinic with eyelid twitching and jaw muscle tension. She described being diagnosed with MS two years ago due to the same symptoms, and her symptoms gradually worsened over the past six months. After 4 weeks of acupuncture treatment, the patient's MS symptoms improved significantly.
Acupuncture may be a potentially salvage treatment option for MS.
梅杰综合征（MS）是一种以眼睑痉挛和口下颌肌张力障碍为特征的颅肌张力障碍疾病。目前的治疗方法包括肉毒杆菌毒素治疗、口服药物和手术干预。在此，我们报告一例患者经针灸治疗后症状显著改善的病例。
一名72岁女性因眼睑抽搐和咬肌紧张前来我们的针灸诊所就诊。她称两年前因相同症状被诊断为梅杰综合征，且在过去六个月中症状逐渐加重。经过4周的针灸治疗后，患者的梅杰综合征症状显著改善。
针灸可能是梅杰综合征一种潜在的挽救性治疗选择。
