MRI muscle imaging study for facial paralysis

This study uses video recordings to analyze facial movements in people with facial paralysis, which may help improve how doctors measure and treat the condition. It is a non-invasive research study that does not involve any medication or surgery.

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.

This study uses special sensors (electrodes and small markers) to measure how facial muscles move. It compares people with peripheral facial palsy to people without facial problems to better understand facial movement changes.

This study uses high-resolution MRI to look at back muscles in children with scoliosis (a curved spine). It may help doctors understand muscle differences between types of scoliosis.

This pilot study uses an eye-tracking camera to measure where people look when viewing faces. It compares attention patterns in adults with facial paralysis to healthy adults, which may help improve understanding and support for people affected.

This study tests whether a special MRI scan (with a contrast dye) can help doctors better plan surgery for tumors in the salivary gland near the facial nerve. It may help surgical planning while avoiding unnecessary repeat imaging.
