Active clinical trials for "Facial Nerve Injuries"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three commercially available botulinum toxin neuromodulators in the treatment of facial synkinesis using patient reported outcome measures.

Main purpose：In the face of listening to nerve injury at early stage, utilizing autologous adipose stem cell transplantation in the treatment of makes the acceptance micro vascular decompression hemifacial spasm patients to nerve function to obtain a better recovery. Secondary purpose ：To clarify the efficacy of stem cells in the treatment of cranial nerve dysfunction, and to provide evidence for the treatment of other cranial nerve dysfunction. Cases in group：Appearing on the surface of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm to decrease neural electrophysiological index of patients research design：Single center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled Observation index：Facial nerve clinical score, facial nerve muscle compound action potential, electrical measurement, cerebrospinal fluid index Evaluation of therapeutic effect：Facial nerve function evaluation (House-Brackmann classification, facial nerve function classification scale SFGS), facial nerve electrophysiology evaluation (facial nerve muscle compound action potential), electric measurement Safety evaluation：Clear evaluation of hemifacial spasm and micro vascular decompression were listening to nerve in intracranial segment wrapped around the autologous fat stem cell therapy overall safety and evaluation methods including adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram.

Of all the bones in the maxillofacial area, the condylar process is the most susceptible to fracture. The incidence of condylar fracture accounts for 25% to 50% of all mandibular fractures. Though remained controversial for a long time, surgical treatment of displaced subcondylar fractures appears today as the gold standard. Although there is a developing preference for open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular condylar fractures, the optimal approach to the ramus condylar unit remains controversial. Various approaches have been proposed, and each has specific shortcomings and disadvantages. Retromandibular, submandibular, transoral, and through parotid approaches are generally performed and sometimes used with an endoscope. Limited access and injury to the facial nerve are the most common problems, while Wilson introduced a new through masseter anteroparotid approach, this technique offers excellent access to the ramus condylar unit, and facial nerve damage risk is reduced.

In this single-centre, cross-sectional case series, the investigators aim to evaluate the incidence of facial nerve injury in patients undergoing superficial parotidectomy in the absence of nerve conductor. Data to be collected retrospectively from a prospectively maintained database of consecutive patients, at the Department of Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Jamshoro, Pakistan. The sample size was calculated as 101.

This study aims to understand how to manipulate the electrical stimulation from the cochlear implant to maximize hearing stimulation and minimize facial stimulation. It is know from animal data that the hearing and facial nerves have different sensitivities to things like electrical pulse shape, its pattern, and its duration. It is very unclear however if this applies to human cochlear implant patients, and what the optimal parameters are to selectively stimulate the hearing nerve in humans. The outcomes of this study will be used to more selectively program some patients with severe facial nerve cross stimulation and to inform the development of new types of implant stimulation.
