Filter by: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.
Objective: Bell's palsy is characterized by acute, unilateral onset that compromises function and esthetics, exerting a considerable impact on the social, professional, and psychological aspects of the lives of affected individuals. The objective of this study was to determine whether laser acupuncture therapy could relieve symptoms in patients with Bell's palsy in 8 weeks. Methods: This study was randomized controlled trial including 360 patients that undergoing Bell's palsy. All the patients received oral Betahistine Mesylate tablet, Vitamin B1 tablet and Prednisolone. Patients were assigned to the laser acupuncture (LA) group, Sham LA group and control group, with 120 patients in each group. LA group and Sham LA group were received 4 weeks of Laser treatment (3 times per week). Clinical outcome measure comprised the House-Brackmann grading system, Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale (FaCE), Sunnybrook facial grading scale (SBFG), Facial Disability Index (FDI) and Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale (FaCE Scale) All the measurements were collected at the baseline, weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.

To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the Kabat rehabilitation technique with conventional physical therapy along with electrical stimulation in both, for reducing facial disability in patients with Bell's palsy. To assess the prognosis of patients with Bell's palsy, using the assay of serum level of ischemia-modified albumin, high-frequency ultrasonography (HFUS), and electrophysiological studies of the facial nerve.
Bell palsy (BP) is the most common cause of acute facial palsy, which leads to functional and esthetic disturbances for patients and results in a lowered quality of life. Electroacupuncture (EA) received attention as an alternative and complementary treatment method. The low-frequency continuous wave EA and the intermittent wave EA have been used in the management of BP. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of these two electroacupuncture waveforms for different severity groups of BP.
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
