Summary

This study aims to translate and adapt the Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) into Turkish and check if it is a reliable and valid tool for people with peripheral facial palsy. Synkinesis causes involuntary facial movements during voluntary expressions, affecting appearance and quality of life. About 49 Turkish-speaking adults with facial palsy and synkinesis will complete the Turkish SAQ and a related questionnaire to test its accuracy and consistency.

Active substance: Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) - a patient-reported outcome measure
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a reliable Turkish tool to measure synkinesis severity, improving clinical care and research for Turkish-speaking patients.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study focused on questionnaire validation, not treatment. The results may not generalize to all patients or settings.
