Mime Therapy with Neural Mobilization
"Experimental group will receive mime therapy and neural mobilization session with small resting intervals.~Self- facial massages for 10 minutes. Breathing and relaxation exercises for 5 mins. Exercises to enhance coordination between both sides of the face and to reduce synkinesis.~Exercises to assist with eye and lip closure for 5 mins. Articulation Exercises for 5 mins. Facial expression exercises for 10 mins.~Facial Neural Mobilization:~Facial mobilization technique will apply when the patient in supine position with head on the table in neural rotation.~The circular movement and horizontal traction will be applied 25 times in three sets with a 5-second rest period in between a single manipulation and a 30- second rest period in between the sets.~All the participates in the experimental group will receive 15 treatment sessions. Each session will held for 60 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for total duration of 3 weeks."
Mime Therapy with Placebo Mobilization
"Control group will receive mime therapy and placebo nerve mobilization session with small resting intervals.~Self- facial massages for 10 minutes. Breathing and relaxation exercises for 5 mins. Exercises to enhance coordination between both sides of the face and to reduce synkinesis.~Exercises to assist with eye and lip closure for 5 mins. Articulation Exercises for 5 mins. Facial expression exercises for 10 mins.~Placebo Nerve Mobilization Technique:~The placebo nerve mobilization followed all the procedures of real nerve mobilization without applying horizontal and circular auricular traction. The purpose of this placebo nerve mobilization is not to deprived the control group from therapy and equalize the time duration of treatment protocol.~All the participates in the control group will receive 15 treatment sessions. Each session will held for 60 minutes per day, 5 days per week, for total duration of 3 weeks."
