Computer check for facial paralysis in Bell's palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a computer program can accurately measure facial paralysis in people with Bell's palsy. If you join, you'll do simple facial movements while the system tracks them, which could help improve future diagnosis.

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 light therapy (photobiomodulation) and electrical stimulation can help people with Bell's palsy recover facial muscle strength. It may help if you have had symptoms for less than 2 weeks.
This study tests different acupuncture wave patterns to find the best one for helping people recover from Bell's palsy. It aims to improve facial muscle function.
This study looks at how having Bell's palsy might affect your emotional well-being. If you join, you will answer questionnaires about your feelings and stress levels, which may help improve care for others with facial paralysis.
This study tests a treatment called low-energy shockwave therapy for people with Bell's palsy, a condition that causes one side of the face to droop. The therapy uses gentle sound waves to possibly help the facial nerve recover and improve facial movement during the chronic stage.
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.
