Summary
This study tests whether low level laser therapy can improve facial function in people with Bell's palsy, a condition that causes sudden facial weakness. Researchers will compare laser therapy to routine physiotherapy in 100 adults aged 18 to 80. The main goal is to see if laser treatment leads to better facial movement scores.

Active substance
Low level laser therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, non-invasive treatment option to help people with Bell's palsy recover facial movement faster.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Laser therapy might not be more effective than standard physiotherapy.
