Filter by:"This is a prospective, single-center study. The main objective of our study will be to objectively evaluate the improvement of facial symmetry after botulinum toxin injection on the face in patients suffering from sequelae of peripheral facial paralysis. A secondary objective will be to assess the utility of 3D photography and stereophotogrammetry to detect and quantify facial changes relevant to this type of treatment. The number of patients included in the study is expected to be 15 at minimum. Our study will rely on 3D photographs taken with the Vectra H2 Imaging System camera device (Canfield Scientific, Inc., Fairfield, New Jersey), which will be captured before and 3 weeks to 1 month after botulinum toxin injection into the facial muscles. Various analyses of static and dynamic symmetry will be performed using the Vectra software: bi-pupillary line angle / bi-commissural line angle, superposition of healthy and pathological sides followed by RMS (root mean square) calculation, analysis of pre- and post-injection skin displacement vectors. The results of these analyses will allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the objective efficacy of botulinum toxin injections for facial symmetrization in patients with peripheral facial paralysis, as well as to adapt injection patterns based on the severity of facial paralysis."
Bell's palsy itself has a certain self-healing tendency. Therefore, it is recommended to leave a bit of Bell's palsy for self-recovery without treatment. If complete recovery is achieved after treatment, complications such as stiffness, contracture and even hemifacial inversion may occur as time moves. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the optimal end time of acupuncture for facial paralysis.
Bell's palsy, characterized by unilateral paralysis/paresis of facial muscles, is a condition with a significant impact on individuals' lives. It was first identified by scientist Sir Charles Bell, and its sudden onset can lead to social, psychological, and emotional distress. Left untreated, Bell's palsy can have long-lasting effects on a patient's quality of life, including loss of facial muscle control, emotional stress, and communication difficulties. Rehabilitation protocols encompass various physical therapy techniques, among which Mime therapy and Motor imagery technique have shown promise.
A research study to find out if brief intraoperative electrical stimulation therapy improves nerve regeneration and smile outcomes following two-stage cross face nerve graft facial reanimation surgery.
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.
Bell's palsy, also called idiopathic facial paralysis, is a common cause of unilateral facial paralysis. It is one of the most common neurological disorders of the cranial nerves.
The objective of this current study is to determine the combined effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and the Kabat technique on quality of life, synkinetic movements and functional outcome in patients of Bell's palsy
To determine the effectiveness of electrical stimulation with MIME therapy versus electrical stimulation with PNF technique for improving strength & restoring lost motor function in the patients of Bell's palsy
Bell's palsy, a peripheral facial nerve paresis, is the most common disorder of the facial nerve and one of the most common mononeuropathies. Many patients with Bell's palsy will develop some complications such as synkinesis, crocodile tears and 'sweating' of the ear while eating Commonly used medications to treat Bell's palsy is Corticosteroids Cerebrolysin stimulates the regeneration of the nervous tissue with protective action we aim to study the efficacy of cerebrolycin in Bell's palsy
To determine the effects of low-level laser therapy on facial motor functions and synkinesis in patients with bell's palsy
