Overview

Umbrella review indicates non-pharmacological treatments improve recovery and function in facial paralysis, suggesting further exploration is needed.

Key Points

  • Recovery rates improved with acupuncture and electrical stimulation, while facial disability remained inconclusive.
  • Overall, five systematic reviews analyzed the effectiveness of interventions for patients experiencing facial paralysis.
  • Methodological quality was assessed using AMSTAR and ROBIS tools during a systematic search through major databases.
  • Further research is needed to standardize protocols and validate the effectiveness of these rehabilitation techniques.
