简要总结
Our study aims to determine the efficacy of PNF and Soft tissue mobilization techniques with exercise for Bell's palsy. It ascertains which intervention yields better outcomes and has greater effect on recovery.
详细描述
It is a randomized controlled trial. This study includes 28 participants allocated into two groups by coin tossing method. Group A receives PNF and Group B receives soft tissue mobilization along with exercise. Both of the groups receive electrical stimulation as baseline treatment. The assessment of participants is done by using facial disability index and House Brackmann scale.

结局指标
主要结局
Facial disability index
时间窗: 4 weeks
in 1996, this scale was invented. This tool is used to evaluate functional and psychological effects of cranial nerve VII dysfunction like Bell's palsy. It consists of two subscales one is Physical Function and second is Social/Wellbeing Function, each with a range 0 to 100 where higher score shows better function and lesser disability.
次要结局
- House Brackmann scale(4 weeks)
