Bell's Palsy Exercises - Ask Doctor Jo
Bell’s Palsy is the sudden weakness of your facial muscles on one half of the face. These exercises may seem like you are just making funny faces, but this will help get the weak muscles working again. Read Doctor Jo’s blog post about this video at: http://www.askdoctorjo.com/content/bells-palsy-exercises
You want to do these in front of a mirror so you can see the movements you are getting. You can use your fingers to help with the movement if you need to, and move both sides of your face for the exercises.
The first exercise is lifting your eyebrows like you are surprised. If you need to use your finger, place it right above your eyebrow and then lift both eyebrows up like you are surprised. Just start off with ten of these because you don’t want to overwork the muscles. The next one ...

Bell’s Palsy (Facial Paralysis) | Causes, Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Bell’s Palsy (Facial Paralysis) | Causes (Viruses), Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Bell Palsy is a condition involving paralysis of the facial nerve (Cranial nerve VII), which is responsible for facial movements and expressions, taste sensation and lacrimation. In Bell’s Palsy, the facial nerve is affected due to ischemia, edema or another process that may be triggered by a viral infection with particular viruses (herpes simplex virus, herpes zoster virus) or some bacteria (mycoplasma and syphilis). In this lesson, we discuss the facial nerve and pathophysiology of Bell’s palsy, the signs and symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated by clinicians.

Bell's palsy: One Loyola patient's story
Audrey Rex talks about how she noticed the onset of Bell's palsy.. At first she was having trouble pronouncing 'b' and 'p,' and soon lost her ability to smile. After six months she had no movement on one side of her face. She met with Dr. John Leonetti, director of Cranial Base Surgery at Loyola and a well-renowned Bell's palsy specialist. Dr. Leonetti explains how Bell's palsy, or idiopathic facial paralysis, causes acute facial paralysis on one side of the face. It is thought to be caused by a virus. The nerve swells within its bony sleeve and paralyzes itself. Audrey had the surgery to remove the bony sleeve, which relieved pressure on the nerve. She soon started to recover movement in her face. She met with a therapist to improve her muscle function. Her motivation has paid off. Audrey...

Bell’s Palsy at UVA: From Facial Paralysis to Recovery
#uvahealth #facialparalysis #facialpalsy
Although Bell’s palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis on one side of the face, its causes are still unclear. Any facial paralysis should be treated as an emergency. Treatment for Bell’s palsy is most effective in the first three days of its onset. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Sam Oyer, MD, explains Bell’s palsy, including the treatment options and recovery.

Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis that we see in adults. The cause of Bell's palsy is still a little bit unclear, but we think it's a reactivation of the herpes virus that causes cold sores. And it tends to cause complete paralysis on one side of the face, which, for most peo...

Treating Bell's Palsy at Loyola Medicine
When Michael Ponzio experienced sudden paralysis on the left side of his face, he was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy. Michael went to see John Leonetti, MD, a Loyola Medicine otolaryngologist who specializes in the treatment of this condition. After Dr. Leonetti performed a facial nerve stimulation procedure on Michael, he started to get movement back. With the help of Lisa Burkman, PT, a Loyola Medicine physical therapist who specializes in facial paralysis, most of Michael's facial function has returned. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please visit https://www.loyolamedicine.org/find-a-condition-or-service/otolaryngology-ent/otolaryngology-conditions/bells-palsy or call 888-584-7888.

TRANSCRIPT:
Bell’s palsy is a disorder that results from the dysfunction of cranial nerve VII, the facial nerve. It involves weakness or paralysis, typically on one side of the face. The onset of the condition is rapid, usually progressing to maximum severity within 72 hours. While there can be a number of causes of facial weakness or paralysis, the cause of Bell’s palsy is unknown, and diagnosis is made by ruling out other potential causes like Lyme disease, trauma, tumors, etc. In other words, Bell’s palsy is only diagnosed when there is not another identifiable cause of the facial paralysis.
The symptoms of Bell’s palsy can vary from case to case in both form and severity, but the most common symptom is rapidly developing weakness on one side of the face. There can be a number of other symptoms that emerge from facial nerve dysfunction, including drooping of the eyelid, drooping of one side of the mouth, drooling, an inability to completely close the eye, excessive tearing and pain in the eye, facial pain, loss of taste, hypersensitivity to sound on the affected side, and other symptoms depending on the case.
Although the cause of Bell’s palsy is unclear, there is evidence that many cases may have a viral origin. Reactivation of latent viruses such as the herpes simplex virus has been hypothesized to be an important factor in many cases of Bell’s palsy, but how exactly viruses might damage the facial nerve is still uncertain. Other factors potentially involved in the development of Bell’s palsy include reduced blood supply to the facial nerve and damage to the facial nerve caused by inflammation. Most cases of Bell’s palsy start to improve without any medical intervention within a few weeks, and recover completely within 3 to 4 months. Less commonly, symptoms may last longer, never completely disappear, or fade away and then reoccur.

Bell’s palsy is a form of facial muscle weakness or paralysis, typically on one side of the face. It results from dysfunction of the facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve. The facial nerve has many branches and diverse functions. It controls the muscles of facial expression, including those involved in eye blinking and closing; it carries nerve impulses to tear glands, salivary glands; and conveys taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. There are two facial nerves, one on each side of the face. Typically, only one nerve, and hence one side of the face, is affected.
The malfunction of the facial nerve is thought to result from its inflammation. The swollen nerve is compressed as it exits the skull within a narrow bony canal.
Symptoms develop suddenly, usually within a couple of days, and can range from mild weakness to total paralysis of face muscles. Other symptoms may include drooping of mouth, drooling, inability to close one eye, facial pain or abnormal sensation, distorted sense of taste, and intolerance to loud noise.
By definition, Bell’s palsy is idiopathic, meaning it has no known cause, but it has been associated with certain viral infections. In particular, reactivation of a dormant virus, triggered by stress, trauma or minor illness, is often thought to be the culprit.
Risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, pregnancy, and upper respiratory infections.
Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation after other possible causes of facial paralysis are excluded. Patients usually present with rapid development of symptoms, reaching a peak in severity around 72 hours from the time of onset. In most cases, muscle weakness can be observed with both upper and lower facial muscles, including the forehead, eyelid, and mouth. If forehead muscle strength is not affected, a central cause, especially stroke, should be suspected. This is because the upper facial muscles, unlike the lower ones, receive nerve impulses from both hemispheres of the brain, so a lesion in one side will not affect their function.
An electromyography test can be used to confirm nerve damage and determine the extent of severity. Imaging studies can help rule out structural causes, such as a tumor or skull fracture.
Because Bell's palsy impairs the eyelid’s ability to close and blink, the affected eye is exposed to drying and potential injury. Patients must keep the eye moist with lubricating eye drops, and protect it from injury with an eye patch, especially at night.
Without treatment, Bell’s palsy resolves spontaneously in about 2 thirds of patients. Symptoms usually start to improve after a few weeks, and complete recovery is achieved in about six months. Corticosteroids, when started early, can reduce inflammation and improve recovery. Some patients may benefit from physical therapy or facial massage. Decompression surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve is rarely needed and not usually recommended. Severe cases may take longer to resolve. A small number of patients with complete paralysis may continue to have some symptoms for life.

Bell’s Palsy is the sudden weakness of your facial muscles on one half of the face. These exercises may seem like you are just making funny faces, but this will help get the weak muscles working again. Read Doctor Jo’s blog post about this video at: http://www.askdoctorjo.com/content/bells-palsy-exercises
You want to do these in front of a mirror so you can see the movements you are getting. You can use your fingers to help with the movement if you need to, and move both sides of your face for the exercises.
The first exercise is lifting your eyebrows like you are surprised. If you need to use your finger, place it right above your eyebrow and then lift both eyebrows up like you are surprised. Just start off with ten of these because you don’t want to overwork the muscles. The next one is moving the eyebrows in together, almost like an angry face. Again, you can put your finger on top of your eyebrow and push inward to help the movement.
Now you will move down to the nose area and flare your nose. You can flare them out or down. Put your finger right in the crease of the nose to help the movement. Then you are going to move to your lips. You are going to try to make a smiley face curving your lips upward. Put your finger on the corner of your lip to help it move upward.
Eventually you can try to hold the position for 3 seconds, but just start off with ten of each to get the muscles moving.

Bell’s Palsy (Facial Paralysis) | Causes (Viruses), Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Bell Palsy is a condition involving paralysis of the facial nerve (Cranial nerve VII), which is responsible for facial movements and expressions, taste sensation and lacrimation. In Bell’s Palsy, the facial nerve is affected due to ischemia, edema or another process that may be triggered by a viral infection with particular viruses (herpes simplex virus, herpes zoster virus) or some bacteria (mycoplasma and syphilis). In this lesson, we discuss the facial nerve and pathophysiology of Bell’s palsy, the signs and symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated by clinicians.

Bell’s Palsy (Facial Paralysis) | Causes (Viruses), Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Bell Palsy is a condition involving paralysis of the facial nerve (Cranial nerve VII), which is responsible for facial movements and expressions, taste sensation and lacrimation. In Bell’s Palsy, the facial nerve is affected due to ischemia, edema or another process that may be triggered by a viral infection with particular viruses (herpes simplex virus, herpes zoster virus) or some bacteria (mycoplasma and syphilis). In this lesson, we discuss the facial nerve and pathophysiology of Bell’s palsy, the signs and symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated by clinicians.

Audrey Rex talks about how she noticed the onset of Bell's palsy.. At first she was having trouble pronouncing 'b' and 'p,' and soon lost her ability to smile. After six months she had no movement on one side of her face. She met with Dr. John Leonetti, director of Cranial Base Surgery at Loyola and a well-renowned Bell's palsy specialist. Dr. Leonetti explains how Bell's palsy, or idiopathic facial paralysis, causes acute facial paralysis on one side of the face. It is thought to be caused by a virus. The nerve swells within its bony sleeve and paralyzes itself. Audrey had the surgery to remove the bony sleeve, which relieved pressure on the nerve. She soon started to recover movement in her face. She met with a therapist to improve her muscle function. Her motivation has paid off. Audrey has recovered beautifully.

Bell’s Palsy at UVA: From Facial Paralysis to Recovery

#uvahealth #facialparalysis #facialpalsy
Although Bell’s palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis on one side of the face, its causes are still unclear. Any facial paralysis should be treated as an emergency. Treatment for Bell’s palsy is most effective in the first three days of its onset. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Sam Oyer, MD, explains Bell’s palsy, including the treatment options and recovery.

Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis that we see in adults. The cause of Bell's palsy is still a little bit unclear, but we think it's a reactivation of the herpes virus that causes cold sores. And it tends to cause complete paralysis on one side of the face, which, for most people, recovers. But a subset of people, maybe 25, even 30%, don't see full recovery after Bell's palsy.
If someone has paralysis on one side of the face, they should immediately seek medical care to rule out other causes. Bell's palsy is really a diagnosis of exclusion once all these other causes have been ruled out.
The treatment, early on, is medical, with antiviral medication and steroid medication to help reduce swelling and inflammation around the nerve. Some people recover very quickly and recover completely, and it's never a problem long term. Others, again, recover much more slowly and have trouble with incomplete eye closure, mouth droop, drooling when they're trying to eat or drink. And when they do recover, some get tightness or spasm in their facial muscles.
Others may get synkinesis during recovery, which means that their muscle movements are linked. So when they close their eyes, their mouth moves. Or when they do a big smile, their eye closes, or their neck tightens. In these cases, we can usually make some improvements.
The first step is usually to work with our specialized physical therapists, who will work to retrain your brain to work the muscles differently. And it's a special process where they really work on training the brain to control the face. That can be augmented sometimes with Botox injections. This helps cut down spasms in the muscles that we don't want to move, but leaves alone the muscles we do want to move.
So those two procedures together really can improve the spasm and synkinesis for a lot of people. For some, it doesn't get enough improvement. And so, there's a surgical procedure that we may consider offering in that case where the facial nerves are mapped out and electrically stimulated during surgery. With that stimulation, we can see what motion is produced and the nerves that are creating motion that we like to see, like eye closure and smile. Those nerves are saved. For the other nerves that are pulling the mouth down, tightening the neck, or creating too much pucker around the mouth, we cut a little segment of those nerves selectively. It’s called selective neurectomy. It is a good option for some people to be able to improve their smile and improve their facial function when the more conservative treatments may not be working well.
