Recruiting studies
- NCT03115203Recruiting
MRI muscle imaging study for facial paralysis
This study uses a stronger MRI machine (3 Tesla) to take detailed pictures of skin and face muscles in people with facial paralysis. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen in the face muscles over time.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT04934176Recruiting
3D study of smile reconstruction for facial paralysis
This study looks at how well “smile reconstruction” surgery works for people with facial paralysis, using 3D measurements that reflect patient experience and movement. You may be able to help test which nerve-connection approach leads to better smile outcomes.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06532903Recruiting
Recovery from facial paralysis study
This trial tests a physical therapy approach to help people recover from Bell's palsy or other types of facial paralysis that started recently (within the last 6 months). It aims to see if specific treatments can improve facial movement and function.
CorrientesAges Any age - NCT07537426Recruiting
Acupuncture for Dry Eyes After Facial Paralysis
This trial tests whether tiny acupuncture needles placed under the skin can help relieve dry eyes and other eye discomfort that develops after long-lasting facial paralysis. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve symptoms when standard care hasn't worked well enough.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06742580Recruiting
Sudden facial paralysis and homocysteine study
This study looks at a possible link between a substance in the blood called homocysteine and sudden facial paralysis (Bell's palsy). If you've recently been diagnosed with this condition, you may be able to join.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–80 - NCT07758543Recruiting
Facial exercises for improving symmetry in Bell's palsy
This trial tests whether special facial exercises can help people with Bell's palsy regain a more symmetrical face. The exercises focus on muscle control and nerve movement, and may improve recovery when done in the early months.
IslamabadAges 15–60 - NCT07750561Enrolling by invitation
Turkish questionnaire for facial synkinesis
This study tests a Turkish version of a questionnaire that measures abnormal facial movements (synkinesis) that can happen after facial palsy. It aims to see if the questionnaire works well for Turkish-speaking patients.
Istanbul, CevizlibağAges Up to 18 years - NCT05547152Recruiting
Virtual Reality for Facial Paralysis Recovery
This trial tests whether a virtual reality self-rehabilitation program can help people recover movement and reduce unwanted muscle contractions after recent facial paralysis. You would practice facial exercises using VR technology at home to retrain your facial muscles.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT06667427Recruiting
Nerve transfer for facial paralysis in cancer patients
This study tests whether nerve transfer surgery can improve facial movement and quality of life in cancer patients with facial paralysis. Participants either receive the nerve transfer or are part of a control group that had past facial surgery without nerve repair.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04905745Recruiting
Integrative Korean medicine for new one-sided Bell’s palsy
This trial studies whether an integrative Korean medicine treatment can safely improve symptoms of Bell’s palsy. It’s meant for people whose facial weakness started recently, to see if treatment helps recovery.
Seoul, Gangnam-GuAges 19–69 - NCT06335719Recruiting
Electrical stimulation during nerve grafting for facial paralysis
This trial tests whether using gentle electrical stimulation during surgery can improve the results of nerve grafting for people with facial paralysis on one side. It's for patients who are already planning a two-stage surgery to restore their smile.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT03059420Recruiting
Genetic study of strabismus and certain birth eye-movement disorders
This study looks for genetic (inherited DNA) causes of strabismus (eyes that don’t line up) and certain birth conditions that affect eye movement and brainstem/cranial nerves. Your participation may help researchers better understand these conditions and guide future testing and care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for facial paralysis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting facial paralysis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a facial paralysis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a facial paralysis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
