Electro Physiological Responses to Kabat Motor Control Re-education on Bell's Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Study

Bell's Palsy Clinical Trial

Official title: Electro Physiological Responses to Kabat Motor Control Re-education on Bell's Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the Effect of Kabat motor control re-education therapy on facial nerve Electro physiological responses and facial muscles function in bell's palsy.

BACKGROUND: facial nerve recovery in children could be improved through facilitation of nerve regeneration which can be enhanced through Kabat motor control re-education therapy.

Clinical Trial Description

Thirty children with bell's palsy will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group received the conventional selected program, and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Kabat motor control re-education therapy. The program of treatment will be three times per week for six weeks.

The evaluation methods: Facial nerve distal latency, amplitude, and percentage of degenerations via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device, the Facial Disability Index, and Sunnybrook facial grading system (SBFGS) all the assessment methods before the program and after finishing the program ;
