“…The overall population that was above 55 years of age was associated with moderate depression, linking depression with the severity of the disease by applying the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). [25] 50.8% of the patients reported scoring between 11 and 15 on the HADS scale who had paralysis for less than 5 years. In a more comprehensive study, 6 studies were scrutinized in a reviewed by Dr. J. Fuzi, and ultimately found that there is a positive trend in the improvement of facial paresis through the administration of botulinum toxin type A.…”

“…[24] There was another study where a positive correlation was found between moderate depression and the length of on-set peripheral facial palsy. [25] Furthermore, another clinical experiment made by Dr. Mehta was done in efforts to measure the improvement in patients with facial paralysis after the administration of BtA injections. The study was held at an outpatient clinic that treats facial nerve paralysis and suggested that the general use of botulinum toxin type A has a stable benefit in controlling facial nerve palsies and has a statistically significant improvements in the quality of life.…”

Bell'in felci, kraniyal sinir VII'nin iltihaplanmasının ortak adıdır. Kendine özgü genikulat ganglion iltihabı idiyopatiktir ve hemifasiyal felce neden olur. Bu felçten muzdarip olan hastaların semptomları 3 hafta ile 3 ay arasında kaybolabilir. Yüz felci devam eden bazı hastalar için botulinum toksin tip A etkili bir tedavi olabilir. Kas felcinin şiddetine göre botoksun yanı sıra ameliyat, steroid ve antiviral tedavi gibi farklı tedaviler sunulabilir. Bu derleme makalesinin amacı, viral patojenlerin fasiyal sinir iltihabının aktivasyonu ile olası ilişkisine ve Bell felçli hastaların tedavi olarak botoks tip-A'dan nasıl yararlanabileceğine dalmaktır.

“…[ 3 ] These symptoms make social communication difficult for patients and decrease their quality of life, frequently leading to significant psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression. [ 4 ] Therefore, it is important to focus not only on treating the functional problem of facial palsy, but also improving the patient’s psychological condition.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect and safety of thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) in patients with facial nerve palsy sequelae. This was a retrospective observational study on 82 patients treated with TEA from January 2021 to May 2022. The Facial Disability Index (FDI) reported by patients and Sunnybrook Facial Grading System scores assessed by clinical practitioners were used to evaluate the intensity of facial movements, functional problems, and psychosocial status. One-way repeated measure analysis of variance showed that the Sunnybrook Facial Grading System scores improved significantly following the 2nd to 6th TEA treatments (Txs). FDI scores also showed significant increases except for the 4th Tx. Additionally, the physical scores improved significantly among the subscales of FDI, but the social/well-being scores did not. There were no reported serious adverse events or adverse events requiring medical Tx. TEA is a safe Tx that has a clinically cumulative effect, in terms of patient-oriented self-assessment of functional problems and objective facial movements, for treating facial nerve palsy sequelae.

“…FP shows an annual incidence rate of up to 40 cases per 100,000 population with equal rates in male and female patients [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The mean age of onset ranges from 45–56 years of age [ 7 , 8 ]. Depending on the lesion localization, FP can be caused by trauma, or following viral or bacterial infections (e.g., HSV-1, VZV, Lyme disease), neoplasms, or surgery [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background: Reliable, time- and cost-effective, and clinician-friendly diagnostic tools are cornerstones in facial palsy (FP) patient management. Different automated FP grading systems have been developed but revealed persisting downsides such as insufficient accuracy and cost-intensive hardware. We aimed to overcome these barriers and programmed an automated grading system for FP patients utilizing the House and Brackmann scale (HBS). Methods: Image datasets of 86 patients seen at the Department of Plastic, Hand, and Reconstructive Surgery at the University Hospital Regensburg, Germany, between June 2017 and May 2021, were used to train the neural network and evaluate its accuracy. Nine facial poses per patient were analyzed by the algorithm. Results: The algorithm showed an accuracy of 100%. Oversampling did not result in altered outcomes, while the direct form displayed superior accuracy levels when compared to the modular classification form (n = 86; 100% vs. 99%). The Early Fusion technique was linked to improved accuracy outcomes in comparison to the Late Fusion and sequential method (n = 86; 100% vs. 96% vs. 97%). Conclusions: Our automated FP grading system combines high-level accuracy with cost- and time-effectiveness. Our algorithm may accelerate the grading process in FP patients and facilitate the FP surgeon’s workflow.
