Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
House-Brackman scale
Changes from baseline in the House-Brackman scale will be used to assess the facial nerve dysfuntion. The tool grades facial movement on a scale from grade 1 to 6 where grade 1 indicates normal function and grade 6 indicates complete paralysis
3rd week
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Facial disability index
3rd week
Study Arms (2)
kabat technique
ACTIVE COMPARATORkabat rehabilitation technique with baseline treatment
facial neural mobilization
EXPERIMENTALfacial nerve mobilization with facial exercises
Interventions
kabat technique include diagonal movements to activate weak muscles through resistance . 3-5 repetetion per muscle for 2-3 sets .session conducted 5 days per week for three weeks each lasting 30 minutes .
neural mobilization involves manual traction and circular movement around ear to enhance nerve mobility and function .5-10 repetetions .Session conduted 5 days per week for 3 weeks lasting 30 minutes facial exercises include raising eyebrows-eye closure-lip raising-smiling-snarling flaring of nose-forehead wrinkling-lipspuckering-pouting. 5-10 repetetions 3 times a day .7 days for 3 weeks
