Mindfulness for facial paralysis that is not flaccid
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study explores whether mindfulness practices can help people with facial paralysis that is not flaccid (not completely limp). It aims to see if mindfulness can improve facial function or quality of life.

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 uses video recordings to analyze facial movements in people with facial paralysis. It aims to better understand how facial paralysis affects movement, which could help improve future treatments.
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 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.
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.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment that combines a brain-computer interface with mild electrical stimulation to help people with one-sided facial paralysis regain movement. It aims to improve facial muscle function by retraining the brain and muscles together.
