First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study compares two non-drug treatments—photobiomodulation (light therapy) and electrical stimulation—to see which better reduces facial disability in people with Bell's palsy. About 34 adults with moderate to severe facial weakness (onset less than 2 weeks) will receive one of the two therapies alongside standard facial exercises. The goal is to find the more effective approach for improving facial symmetry and movement.
