Neural mobilization in Bell's palsy: A case report.
BACKGROUND: Bell's palsy (BP) is a sudden onset of signs and symptoms of facial nerve dysfunction. The treatment of choice is corticosteroids and antiviral drugs. These drugs are risky for individuals with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and digestive disturbances. Therefore, a beneficial complementary therapy would add to the success of treatment.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 42-year-old male presented with left side facial paralysis and asymmetry. The patient received neural mobilization along with routine physical therapy for 1 hour, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. A follow-up was scheduled at the 8th week.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Neural mobilization technique of the facial nerve is a novel and safe addition to the conservative treatment of BP.
