Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will be carried out with volunteer patients who are diagnosed with Bell's Palsy and comply with the study criteria.The aim of the study is to compare the home PNF exercise program with video-based telerehabilitation and the conventional training program in terms of outcome measures in patients with Bell's Palsy lesions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

With the telerehabilitation program, it is aimed that patients can easily adapt to home exercise programs and be followed up remotely. In this way, the most effective treatment of the disease will provide the patient with both motor function gain and psychosocial gain. This study was planned to examine the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in patients with Bell's Palsy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Telerehabilitation (TR)

Self PNF exercises determined for facial muscles (M. Frontalis, M. Orbicularis Oculi, M. Orbicularis Oris, M. Risorius etc.) will be applied.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telerehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

The telerehabilitation platform is used to deliver the home exercise program.

Conventional Education Program (CEP)

Education will be given to cases with Bell's Palsy. Some exercises will be suggested in front of the mirror. Patients will be advised to gently massage upwards with their fingertips after applying a warm towel with a towel on the facial muscles.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Education Program

Intervention Type OTHER

The patient is given education about the points to be considered for the disease and the exercises to be applied.
