“…This was also supported by Tucany et al who noted that the addition of Electrical Stimulation to physical therapy and corticosteroids significantly improved House-Brackmann scores in subjects with acute Bell's palsy [14]. And LM Pereira et al who performed a systematic review & found Facial exercise therapy is effective for facial palsy for the outcome functionality [12]. Subjects in our study also showed improvement in MMO by stretching exercises which is supported by McNeely ML et al who noted effectiveness of physical therapy interventions for temporomandibular disorders in systemic review [15].…”
