Video-based facial movement analysis for facial paralysis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of facial paralysis, such as Bell's palsy.
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be willing and able to give your informed consent to participate.
- You cannot have other brain or face conditions that affect facial movement.
- You must not have had prior facial surgery that changed your facial muscles.
- You must be able to cooperate with video recording and the assessment procedures.

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 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 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 pilot study uses an eye-tracking camera to measure where people look when viewing faces. It compares attention patterns in adults with facial paralysis to healthy adults, which may help improve understanding and support for people affected.
This study uses special sensors (electrodes and small markers) to measure how facial muscles move. It compares people with peripheral facial palsy to people without facial problems to better understand facial movement changes.
