Facial paralysis study probes hidden emotional toll

NCT ID NCT07511140

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This observational study looks at 85 adults with Bell's palsy to see if worse facial muscle function is linked to higher anxiety, depression, and lower self-esteem. Researchers will measure facial movement and muscle activity, then compare those results with participants' answers on mental health questionnaires. The goal is to understand the emotional impact of facial paralysis, not to test a treatment.
