Bell's palsy

This trial asks whether adding gentle nerve mobilization to standard PNF exercises can improve facial symmetry and movement in people with Bell's palsy, a condition causing one-sided facial weakness. Adults aged 15 to 60 with moderate to severe Bell's palsy will be randomly assig…

This trial tests whether botulinum toxin type A injections can improve lower-lip asymmetry in children with hemifacial microsomia, a condition where the lower lip moves unevenly during smiling or speaking. The study enrolls children under 18 with this condition and a crooked-mout…

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 exe…

This early study tests a new spring made from surgical stitches to help people with facial nerve palsy close their eyelid. The spring is placed under the skin near the eyelid center, without attaching to bone. Ten adults who cannot blink due to nerve damage will try it, aiming to…

This study tests whether intradermal acupuncture (tiny needles placed under the skin) can improve eye surface symptoms like dryness and irritation in people with long-term facial paralysis. Researchers will compare the real acupuncture to a placebo needle in 78 adults aged 18-65.…

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 train…
