Integrative Korean medicine for new one-sided Bell’s palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.

This study looks for early “prognostic biomarkers” (measurable signs in blood/tissue or scans) to predict how severe Bell’s palsy will turn out. It may help doctors better choose the right treatment and follow-up for adults with severe facial nerve weakness.
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 tests whether combining a gentle type of acupuncture (intradermal acupuncture) with a self-guided rehabilitation program can help people with severe Bell's palsy recover better. It is for adults having their first episode of Bell's palsy with significant facial weakness.
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.
This study tests whether adding gentle nerve exercises (neural mobilization) to standard facial exercises (mime therapy) helps people with Bell's palsy recover more movement and expression. It is for people who have had one-sided facial weakness for 3 to 6 months.
This study tests different electrical stimulation patterns applied through acupuncture needles to help people recover from Bell's palsy (sudden facial weakness). Researchers will measure muscle activity to find the best treatment approach.
