Video analysis of facial movement in 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, 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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with facial paralysis, such as Bell's palsy
- You are 18 years old or older
- You can give your consent to participate
- You do not have other neurological or facial conditions that affect facial movement
- You have not had facial surgery that affects facial muscles
- You are able to cooperate with video recording and clinical assessments

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether mindfulness exercises can help people with non-flaccid facial paralysis (stiff, tight facial muscles) feel better about their face and smile. You must have had Bell's Palsy, Ramsay Hunt, Lyme disease, or a similar condition for at least 8 months, without recent Botox or facial therapy.
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.
