The application of botulinum toxin to the healthy side face in patients with long-standing facial paralysis has been shown be a minimally invasive technique that improves symmetry at rest and during motion, but our experience using therapy for sequelae prompted idea might useful acute cases paralysis, leading improve asymmetry.In which medical or surgical treatment options are limited because existing problems advanced age, most palsy advised await spontaneous recovery informed no effective...

Conclusion: The drug regimen plus electrical stimulation was more effective in treating Bell's palsy than the conventional treatment alone. effectiveness of such a sub-threshold, continuous, low frequency suggests new therapeutic approach to accelerate nerve regeneration and improve functional recovery after injury. Objectives: purpose this study determine whether continuous at 20 Hz facilitates patients with palsy. Materials methods: authors performed prospective randomized that included 60...

Objectives: The researchers analyzed facial patterns in subjects with synkinesis after paralysis and evaluated the involved muscles to aid development of effective treatments for synkinesis.Methods: A total 142 were included study, primary measure was determined by video analysis involving strongest combination two muscle groups that contributed expression. secondary its severity using SB grading system, while observing number synkinetic movements.Results: most common type oral–ocular (n =...

The optimal timing for surgical exploration of traumatic facial paralysis to best preserve function is currently controversial. This article reviews the final outcomes in patients with intratemporal nerve injury according exploration.We performed a retrospective review 58 complete caused by temporal bone fractures as result head trauma between 1998 and 2007. Patients were divided into three groups type trauma. only difference each group was exploration. Characteristics assessed study...

Facial paralysis is an uncommon but significant complication of chronic otitis media (COM). Surgical eradication the disease most viable way to overcome facial therefrom. In effort guide treatment this rare complication, we analyzed prognosis function after surgical treatment.A total 3435 patients with COM, who underwent various otologic surgeries throughout a period 20 years, were retrospectively. Forty six (1.33%) had nerve caused by COM. We prognostic factors including delay surgery,...

Objectives/Hypothesis Clinical decision making for facial nerve schwannoma is particularly complicated in patients with good function; however, an early nerve‐sparing tumor resection stripping technique minimizes deficits associated treatment. The present study characterized the optimal candidate this surgical strategy function. Study Design Retrospective study. Methods Nerve‐sparing surgery was performed on 28 schwannoma. House‐Brackmann grading system used to assess pre‐ and postoperative...

Background Neuromuscular retraining therapy (NMRT) is the central treatment for synkinesis. The efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) may be enhanced with addition physical therapy.Objectives To investigate effects NMRT combined preceding BTX-A injection (NMRT-B) on facial synkinesis and asymmetry in chronic paralysis.Materials Methods We recruited 99 patients unilateral paralysis no recovery > 6 months who underwent NMRT-B 1 year. were scheduled to receive after 1–2 weeks injection....

To explore whether early physical interventions, including neuromuscular retraining therapy, can minimize excessive movement or any unwanted co-contraction after a severe Bell's palsy.From March 2021 to August 2022, the therapist treated palsy patients for acute (<3 months, Group A), subacute (3-6 B) and chronic (> 6 C) stages of condition.We explored facial synkinesis episode palsy. Each patient was informed about potential explained that main purpose therapy is learn new patterns...

Abstract We sought to determine whether electrical stimulation (ES) with subthreshold, continuous, low‐frequency impulses is a viable clinical method for improving functional recovery after facial nerve crush injury. In 10 rabbits, bilateral injuries were made on the by compression 30 s mosquito forceps, causing complete paralysis. Subthreshold continuous direct current ES 20‐Hz square‐wave pulses was applied proximal stump one side 4 weeks. Vibrissae movement returned significantly earlier...

This article presents a comprehensive review of data on the impact facial palsy during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The possible causes and pathophysiological mechanisms changes in epidemiology COVID-19 pandemic are also discussed.

The earlier decompression is carried out, the better result. However, delayed a few days beyond 2 weeks after onset of facial paralysis can benefit recovery function in patients when combined with early use steroids or without antiviral agents.To demonstrate correlation between time and surgery elucidate beneficial effect week period on who had received steroid treatment.Between April 1994 December 2007, 91 complete treatment agents were included study. An independent sample t test was used...

Purpose:The purpose of this study is to investigate peculiar patterns facial asymmetry following incomplete recovery from paralysis that require optimal physical therapy for effective rehabilitation, and decrease the incidence avoidable sequelae.Materials Methods: This involved 41 patients who had sequelae treatment various nerve diseases March 2000 2007.All with a followup at least 1 year after onset or hyperactive function were evaluated global regional House-Brackmann (HB) grading...

This study demonstrates good correlation between enhanced MRI and surgical findings.This investigated the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to make a decision on strategy for facial nerve decompression in herpes zoster oticus, by determining degree contrast enhancement pathologic change nerve.This retrospective 13 patients, who underwent with was designed compare gadolinium-enhanced segment pathologically changed confirmed exploration, grouping them timing operation after onset...

The facial nerve coursing through the temporal bone provides a challenge to otologic surgeon. Advances in surgical instrumentation and refinements of strategies enable otologist uncover entire course safely from brainstem its exit bone. most common cause paralysis is Bell's palsy, followed by traumatic paralysis, herpes zoster oticus, intratemporal tumous lesion. approaches injured depend on causes. Acute, severe caused viral infection or trauma can be managed early use transmastoid...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether computed tomography (CT) could predict the possibility first genu exposure facial nerve via transmastoid approach in patients with acute paralysis.Temporal bone CT is best method for visualizing intratemporal segment canal, which known have diverse anatomic variations.A prospective conducted on 11 who underwent decompression approach. Two groups surgery expose perigeniculate area One group included had parameters temporal that met...

To investigate facial nerve monitoring in patients receiving the partial nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs), remifentanil and propofol.Patients with normal function advanced middle-ear disease were enrolled. For total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA), propofol infused as induction/maintenance anaesthesia. Stimulation thresholds amplitudes recorded at each train-of-four (TOF) stimulation level. Time differences between start of TOF electromyographic (EMG) amplitude decreases...
