Virtual reality offers new hope for facial paralysis sufferers
NCT ID NCT05547152
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using virtual reality at home can help people with recent facial palsy (within the last year) reduce involuntary facial spasms called synkinesis. About 100 participants will either use a VR self-rehabilitation program or follow standard rehabilitation exercises. The goal is to see if VR improves muscle control and lessens painful spasms better than conventional therapy alone.
