Patient's question:
Doctor, my brother has congenital facial paralysis, and I would like to know if bioelectric therapy for facial paralysis is effective.Doctor's answer:
Being born with facial paralysis is a problem related to facial nerve function. The treatment methods for this condition can be challenging, as they generally involve considering the potential harm to the nerve areas. Even with bioelectric therapy, it may not be possible to completely restore the function for congenital cases. The difficulty of recovery is relatively high in such cases. If the nerve is completely damaged, there is essentially no way to repair it, as nerve function cannot be fully restored. It requires understanding that, in this regard, physical therapy can be temporarily controlled to see the effects of complete recovery.
