Low Laser Therapy on Facial Motor Functions Function and Synkinesis in Patients With Bell's Palsy

Effects of Low Laser Therapy on Facial Motor Functions Function and Synkinesis in Patients With Bell's Palsy

To determine the effects of low-level laser therapy on facial motor functions and synkinesis in patients with bell's palsy

A randomised controlled trial tested low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for bell's palsy. Lahore's Ittefaq Hospital selected 32 bell's palsy patients for the research. The Facial Disability Index (FDI), House-Brackmann Scale (HBS), and Sunnybrook Facial Grading System were used to collect data over ten months (SFG). LLLT and conventional therapy were randomly assigned to two groups. SPSS 25 compared pre- and post-treatment values of the two groups.
