Summary
This study compares two physical therapy techniques—Kabat rehabilitation and kinesiology taping—when added to standard care for people with Bell's palsy, a condition causing temporary facial paralysis. Thirty-eight adults aged 30-50 with moderate to severe facial weakness will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. Researchers will measure changes in facial symmetry and daily function over 8 weeks to see which approach works better.

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The interventions are supportive and not a cure for Bell's palsy.
