简要总结
Mime therapy and neuromuscular re-education are two approaches for facial rehabilitation that can promote recovery and improve functionality through the use of biofeedback. Both techniques have been proven to be superior to conventional therapy, but there is no literature comparing the two techniques and its effectiveness on patients with Bell’s palsy. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate both forms of treatments to determine the most effective and safest treatment for Bell’s palsy.
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a significant difference in the effectiveness of mime therapy and neuromuscular re-education in improving facial symmetry and function in patients with Bell’s palsy?
HYPOTHESIS (H1): There is a significant difference in the effectiveness of mime therapy and neuromuscular re-education in improving facial symmetry and function in patients with Bell’s palsy.
NULL HYPOTHESIS (H0): There is no significant difference in the effectiveness of mime therapy and neuromuscular re-education in improving facial symmetry and function in patients with Bell’s palsy.
