An interventional study of Telerehabilitation and Conventional Education Program in Bell Palsy, sponsored by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-09-19.
Sponsored by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The study will be carried out with volunteer patients who are diagnosed with Bell's Palsy and comply with the study criteria.The aim of the study is to compare the home PNF exercise program with video-based telerehabilitation and the conventional training program in terms of outcome measures in patients with Bell's Palsy lesions.
With the telerehabilitation program, it is aimed that patients can easily adapt to home exercise programs and be followed up remotely. In this way, the most effective treatment of the disease will provide the patient with both motor function gain and psychosocial gain. This study was planned to examine the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with Bell's Palsy.
85 studies on the registry are indexed under Bell Palsy; 30 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 40 is close to the median of 42 across 70 interventional studies indexed under Bell Palsy.

FaCE
It consists of 15 items with responses on a 5-point Likert scale in 6 sub-categories: facial movements, social function, facial comfort, tear control, eye comfort, and mouth function. FaCE is scored from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better function.
Time frame: Change from Baseline FaCE at 4 weeks
SF-12

Time frame: Change from Baseline SF-12 at 4 weeks
HADS
The scale includes anxiety and depression subscales. The purpose of the scale is not to diagnose, but to determine the risk group by scanning anxiety and depression in a short time in patients with physical illness. HADS is scored from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate higher depression and anxiety.
Time frame: Change from Baseline HADS at 4 weeks
H-B
The scale evaluates the four facial regions separately and also assesses the presence of synkinesis. H-B is scored from 4 to 24. Higher scores indicate worse clinical status.
Time frame: Change from Baseline H-B at 4 weeks
