Brief Summary

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

The goal of this study is to compare the effect of kabat technique and neural mobilization with facial exercises in improving functional outcomes of patient with bells palsy

Detailed Description

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

Bells palsy is seventh cranial nerve disorder which causes muscle weaknesss on one side of the face .Various approaches are applied to restore facial function but this study aims to distinguish kabat technique and neural mobilization .This study will assess and compare the functional recovery of facial muscles and improvemrnt in facial symmetry .This will help determine which intervention is more effective .
