Facial nerve monitoring patch for surgery
Part of Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a small patch on the face that monitors the facial nerve during surgery, aiming to help protect it. It could be helpful if you're having surgery on your face or neck area and want extra safety during the procedure.

This trial tests whether giving steroids after surgery to remove a benign brain tumor (vestibular schwannoma, also called acoustic neuroma) helps protect the facial nerve, which controls facial expressions. It may reduce the chance of facial weakness after surgery.
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.
This trial tests a new device that monitors the nerve controlling your voice during thyroid surgery, to help reduce the risk of voice changes. It may be an option if you're having surgery for a thyroid condition.
This trial tests a special 3D MRI picture method to evaluate the facial nerves in people with parotid (salivary gland) tumors. It may help your care team see facial nerve involvement more clearly, which can guide treatment planning.
This study measures nerve activity (electrical signals in nerves) in people who have trigeminal neuralgia and are getting a common facial pain procedure. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future treatments.
This study tests a numbing “nerve block” to see how well it controls pain for people having planned facial/jaw surgery. If you’re eligible, you’d receive the study’s nerve-block approach during your operation.
