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