AI-Based Facial Movement Assessment for Bell's Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new artificial intelligence tool that uses facial imaging to measure how well facial muscles are working in patients with Bell's palsy (sudden one-sided facial weakness). The AI assessment may help doctors better track improvement and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one-sided facial weakness from Bell's palsy that started within the last month
- Your BMI (body mass index) is less than 30
- You can follow simple spoken instructions and move your face on command during the study
- You do not have facial paralysis on both sides of your face
- Your facial weakness is not caused by trauma, tumors, infection, stroke, or other known conditions
- You do not have significant facial scars, burns, or deformities that would prevent accurate imaging

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests two treatments—light therapy (photobiomodulation) and electrical stimulation—to see if they help people with Bell's palsy recover faster. It is for people with moderate to severe facial weakness that started within the last two weeks.
This study looks at how Bell's palsy (a type of temporary facial weakness) might affect your emotional well-being. Researchers want to see if there is a link between facial palsy and feelings of distress. You will fill out questionnaires about your mood and daily life.
This study uses video recordings to analyze facial movements in people with facial paralysis, which may help improve how doctors measure and treat the condition. It is a non-invasive research study that does not involve any medication or surgery.
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.
