Summary

Bell's palsy, characterized by unilateral paralysis/paresis of facial muscles, is a condition with a significant impact on individuals' lives. It was first identified by scientist Sir Charles Bell, and its sudden onset can lead to social, psychological, and emotional distress. Left untreated, Bell's palsy can have long-lasting effects on a patient's quality of life, including loss of facial muscle control, emotional stress, and communication difficulties. Rehabilitation protocols encompass various physical therapy techniques, among which Mime therapy and Motor imagery technique have shown promise.
