An interventional study of Video sequences in Eye-tracking and Facial Palsy, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-16.

The facial palsy concerns between 15 and 40 people per 100000 inhabitants. They are of various etiologies such as infectious, tumoral, traumatic or idiopathic.
It has variable severities with sometimes heavy functional repercussions and different recovery potentials. The proposed palliative treatments are based on surgery, physiotherapy and botulinum toxin injections. However, when recovery is incomplete, acceptance is more difficult, with an impacted quality of life. In this context, patients' expectations and feelings about their care may become difficult for clinicians to apprehend.
The eye-tracking is widely used in the marketing field, but it also finds medical applications including head and neck lesions and facial palsy in particular. Published studies focus on the gaze of photographs, excluding any notion of dynamics and by the analysis of the gaze of outside observers, ignoring the patient's gaze.The main objective is to evaluate the attention paid to the facial side with abnormal facial movement by patients with facial paralysis compared to healthy volunteers.
81 studies on the registry are indexed under Facial Paralysis; 28 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 60 is above the median of 50 across 59 interventional studies indexed under Facial Paralysis.

Other: Video sequences
\- Subject without major facial sequelae
Other: Video sequences
videos will be made of each participant, during the realization of 5 movements that are the simple closure of the eyelids, the forced closure of the eyelids, the labial protrusion on the sound \[o\], the labial protrusion on the sound \[pu\] and the wide smile uncovering the teeth. Then, a video sequence will be realized thanks to the dedicated software Tobii Pro Lab®.
