简要总结
The aim of this study is to determine comparative effects of mime therapy and action observation therapy on facial symmetry and quality of life in Bell's palsy. Bell's palsy is characterized as an abrupt paralysis of the peripheral facial nerve, typically without a known cause. Mime Therapy is a performing technique that helps patients regain the ability to use their face muscles. Action observation therapy is novel rehabilitation approach exploiting this mirror mechanism.
详细描述
This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in 7 months. 62 participants with Bell's palsy will be included as per sample size calculation through convenience sampling technique. Participants which meet inclusion criteria will be randomly allocated using online randomization tool into two groups. Group A will receive Mime therapy for 30 minutes with short resting interval and Group B will receive action observation therapy for 30 minutes. Each group will receive treatment session of 5 days per week for 6 weeks.
Facial symmetry will be measured using the 13-item Sunny Brook facial Grading System, Facial disability index will be used to assess the quality of life and The House-Brackmann Facial Nerve Grading System will be used to characterize the degree of facial paralysis. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 24 for Windows software.

结局指标
主要结局
Sunny Brook Facial Grading System
时间窗: 6th week
The system includes three components: resting symmetry, the symmetry of voluntary movements, and synkinesis. A composite facial symmetry score is calculated as \[4 × symmetry of voluntary movement - 5 × resting asymmetry + 1 × synkinesis\] with 100 representing normal facial symmetry.
Facial Disability Index
时间窗: 6th week
it is used to assess the quality of life in patients with bell's palsy. It also helps to measure the difficulties of the face in activities of daily living. It represents the relationship between impairments, disability, and psychosocial status and also focuses on the disability of individuals with disorders of the facial motor system. The individual subscales are scored out of a total of 100 where the highest score is the best result.
