Electrical facial nerve stimulation
Electrical stimulation is sometimes given to patients with facial palsy. The facial nerve normally emits electrical impulses to give muscles their tone and shape.
Electrical stimulation was delivered via a Measurements of motor nerve.
Role of electrical stimulation added to conventional therapy in patients with scale and Facial Disability Index scores, as well as facial nerve latencies and.

Description:Abstract [Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on facial muscle strength and oral function in stroke patients with facial palsy. However, neurological disorders such as stroke cause paralysis of the opposite sides of the body, thereby affecting the facial muscles 1. The impairment of the facial muscles in patients with central facial palsy CFP is typically more pronounced in the lower than in the upper face. As a result, weakened facial muscles cause problems in the oral phase of swallowing, such as decreased mastication and bolus control, oral residue, and drooling, as well as facial expression. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation NMES provides electrical stimulation over the skin in the anterior throat or facial region.
