Bell Palsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparative Effects of Mime Therapy and Action Observation Therapy on Facial Symmetry and Quality of Life in Bell's Palsy
The aim of this study is to determine comparative effects of mime therapy and action observation therapy on facial symmetry and quality of life in Bell's palsy. Bell's palsy is characterized as an abrupt paralysis of the peripheral facial nerve, typically without a known cause. Mime Therapy is a performing technique that helps patients regain the ability to use their face muscles. Action observation therapy is novel rehabilitation approach exploiting this mirror mechanism.

Primary | Sunny Brook Facial Grading System | The system includes three components: resting symmetry, the symmetry of voluntary movements, and synkinesis. A composite facial symmetry score is calculated as [4 × symmetry of voluntary movement - 5 × resting asymmetry + 1 × synkinesis] with 100 representing normal facial symmetry. | 6th week | |
Primary | Facial Disability Index | it is used to assess the quality of life in patients with bell's palsy. It also helps to measure the difficulties of the face in activities of daily living. It represents the relationship between impairments, disability, and psychosocial status and also focuses on the disability of individuals with disorders of the facial motor system. The individual subscales are scored out of a total of 100 where the highest score is the best result. | 6th week |
