Study type: Interventional

Bell's palsy is the sudden one-sided peripheral weakness of seventh cranial nerve (Facial nerve), represents 50% to 75% of all etiologies with a rate of 58.2 to 8 new cases per 1 million per year. The objective is to compare the effects of Kabat techniques and Neuromuscular Re-Education on facial disability and synkinesis in patients with bell's palsy. A Randomized Control Trial was conducted on 20 participants, equally allocated in Kabat and PNF training group from February-2020 until December- 2020. Participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria on purposive sampling technique and randomization was done by sealed envelope method. The assessment was done after taking consent before the first and last session. The tools included Facial disability index, Sunnybrook facial grading system and synkinesis assessment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.20.

NCT ID: NCT04800666 Completed - Clinical trials for Peripheral Facial Palsy

Effect of Stellate Ganglion Block Combined With Facial Nerve Block on the Treatment of Idiopathic Facial Paralysis

Start date: March 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Peripheral facial palsy is caused by damage to the facial nerve at any site of the peripheral branches after the facial nucleus.Stellate ganglion block is performed to treat peripheral facial palsy because it increases blood flow and promotes nerve regeneration.Facial Nerve Block worked with elimination of local inflammation of nerve and oppression. Facial nerve block is a treatment that inject drugs into the damaged nerve around to eliminate local inflammation and compression of the nerve.

NCT ID: NCT04412733 Completed - Bell Palsy Clinical Trials

EFFECTÄ°VENESS OF PULSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT ON PATIENTS WITH BELL'S PALSY

Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial palsy) is the most common peripheral lesion of the cranial nerves and the most common mono-neuropathy. Therapeutic ultrasound (US) is among the commonly used physical modalities for treating musculoskeletal disorders. The effects of US are due to alteration of cell membrane activity, vascular wall permeability and facilitation of tissue healing. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pulsed US treatment in patients with Bell's palsy when added to superficial heating, massage and exercise therapies.

NCT ID: NCT04353908 Completed - Facial Nerve Palsy Clinical Trials

Collagen Treatment in Facial Nerve Palsy

Start date: July 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To test the effectiveness of a collagen-based treatment for patients complaining of long standing facial nerve axonotmesis, who are following a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation protocol (Kabat method), compared to a group only undergoing the Kabat method.

NCT ID: NCT04280120 Completed - Bell Palsy Clinical Trials

Effect of Neural Mobilization in Bells Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Start date: March 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Bells palsy is a sudden paralysis of half of the facial muscle. The BP is idiopathic and 70% responds well with drug therapy. There are many complementary therapies such as , tapping, electrical stimulation, and massage that adds to the recovery of condition. However, efficacy of neural mobilization in BP is not reported in the scientific literature.

NCT ID: NCT04153916 Completed - Bell Palsy Clinical Trials

Artificial Eye Blinking Stimulation Following Paralysis of the Facial Nerve

Bioniceye
Start date: August 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Artificial eye blinking stimulation following damage to the facial nerve. Group 1 - Patients with a persistent unilateral facial paralysis (palsy) that underwent an operation for facial reanimation Group 2 - Patients with temporary unilateral facial paralysis, secondary to unilateral Bell's palsy. Primary objective: To evaluate whether the Neurotigger device can elicit a complete or a partial eyelid closure of the affected eye. Secondary objective: To optimize the location of the Neurotrigger's electrodes, and define the level of the pain generated, if any, during device implementation and stimulation, as well as the method for the personal adjustment of the precise pattern of stimulation (strength, intensity, other features) to achieve eye blinking for different patients.

NCT ID: NCT04148872 Completed - Synkinesis Clinical Trials

Mixed Methods Investigation of Chronic Facial Paralysis in Individuals With Synkinesis

Start date: October 24, 2019
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This proposal will prospectively assess the social, physical, and emotional recognition function in participants with synkinesis. It will measure the effectiveness of neuromuscular retraining therapy to improve muscle coordination compared to chemodenervation, the more established treatment modality, in a single-blinded, randomized control trial using clinician- and patient-reported outcomes measures. The hypothesis tested is that participants undergoing neuromuscular retraining therapy will achieve greater improvement on clinical outcome measures as compared to participants receiving chemodenervation. In this clinical trial, 36 participants undergoing treatment for synkinesis will be enrolled into one of two treatment arms: chemodenervation or neuromuscular retraining therapy. Participants can expect to be on study for approximately 8 months. Participants who enroll in this mixed methods investigation will be recruited from patients of the University of Wisconsin Facial Nerve Clinic and also be enrolled in a another study for assessment [Perception of Emotion Expression in Clinical Populations with Facial Paralysis, IRB approval 2015-0366].

NCT ID: NCT03974763 Completed - Bell Palsy Clinical Trials

Function and Form Outcomes in Patients With Facial Paralysis

Start date: June 20, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This study will be unique for the rehabilitation of patients with facial paralysis in that the focus is to generate novel 3D facial soft tissue measures to characterize the condition and temporal changes, and on the generation of future testable hypotheses to optimize surgical interventions and outcomes. In addition, the investigators will extend our previous work, beyond the facial circumoral and lip areas/zones, to characterize additional facial zones specific for facial paralysis. The approach for facial mapping of soft tissue movement, when validated through this proposed study, can be used for both surgical planning and to support the development and training of implantable facial pacing devices. Mapping both normal facial movements and movements of patients with unilateral facial paralysis are vital to describe the temporal and spatial course of the recovery process. Ultimately, this information can be used to inform clinicians on the precise placement of these devices and the signal strength needed to facilitate movements in the required 'paralyzed' facial zones until the recovery process has been completed.
