Effects of Mindfulness Meditation on Facial Paralysis Patients

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Currently, physicians have several options in addressing the anatomic and physiologic sequela of facial paralysis. However, strategies to address the psychologic and coping ability for patients have not been investigated. The goal is to investigate the effect of mindfulness meditation on social functioning in patients with facial paralysis. This study will also explore whether increasing social functioning in patients with facial paralysis will improve overall quality of life. These questions will be answered using a randomized controlled trial.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study population, facial paralysis was significantly associated with increased loneliness, decreased social function, decreased comfort with socializing, and worse quality of life scores. Furthermore, prior studies have shown that facial paralysis increases the likelihood of depression as measured on validated psychometric instruments. Currently, treating physicians have several options in addressing the anatomic and physiologic sequela of facial paralysis. However, strategies to address the psychologic and coping ability for patients have not been investigated. To better provide patient-centered care, physicians should consider the psychosocial impact of facial paralysis to identify patients who may benefit from additional support interventions to complement facial reanimation treatment plans. This is a prospective repeated measures study examining psychosocial status as measured by validated psychometric instruments. The intervention group will participate in mindfulness meditation using a phone application. Assessment of social functioning and quality of life will be conducted using survey instruments. ;
