Summary

This study tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard facial exercises helps people who have facial paralysis after a stroke. About 130 adults with first-time stroke and central facial palsy will be randomly assigned to receive either usual training alone or usual training plus NMES. The main goal is to see if NMES leads to better facial symmetry and quality of life.
