First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study compares two treatments—photobiomodulation (light therapy) and electrical stimulation—to see which works better for people with Bell's palsy, a condition that causes sudden facial weakness or paralysis. About 34 adults with moderate to severe symptoms for less than two weeks will receive one of the treatments along with standard facial exercises. The goal is to improve facial movement and reduce disability.
