Eye-tracking study of face attention in facial paralysis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older (adult)
- You can read and sign a consent form in writing
- You can follow study instructions, including standing still facing a computer screen
- If you have facial paralysis: it is a peripheral facial palsy (often caused by nerve issues), and you may be previously untreated or treated
- If you are healthy: you have no major facial sequelae (no major lingering facial problems)
- You are covered by the social security system (or equivalent eligibility in your country)

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 trial uses eye-tracking to measure how people look at faces after jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery). It is designed to help researchers understand changes in social attention following the procedure.
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.
This study uses eye tracking to compare how people with thyroid eye disease move their eyes and pay attention to visual cues. It may help researchers understand eye movement problems better.
This trial tests an eye-tracking system to help ICU patients who cannot talk due to breathing tubes or injuries communicate with their caregivers. It may offer a new way for patients to express needs without speaking.
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.
