Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The facial symmetry will be assessed by Sunnybrooke Facial Grading System. The system includes three components: (1) resting symmetry, (2) the symmetry of voluntary movements, and (3) synkinesis. The SFGS has high reliability and repeatability which is good to excellent. Timepoint: The baseline readings will be taken initially, second reading will be taken in 4th week and the follow up reading will be taken in the 6th week. Method of measurement: Functional disability measured by Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale (FaCE) Facial symmetry is assessed by Sunnybrooke Facial Grading System.;The Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale (FaCE) is a validated patient-based facial grading instrument developed in 2001. It measures both impairment and disability in facial paralysis and has the potential to be an invaluable adjunct to physician-graded scales. The FaCE scale is a 15-item (questions),five-point Likert scale that consists of six domains. The domains are facial movement, facial comfort, oral function, eye comfort, lacrimal control and social function. Transformed total and domain scores are calculated using specific formulas and the scores obtained range from 0 to 100. Timepoint: The baseline readings will be taken initially, second reading will be taken in 4th week and the follow up reading will be taken in the 6th week.
