Abstract:

This experimental study was conducted in Aga Khan University AKU to evaluate the therapeutic effects of electrical WP XIAIRQUQBNIESDARN:RIWSEOX lb. IIIP SCDIAIIITRIN I I I subjects were selected randomly, which were equally divided into two groups: 1) experimental group and 2) control group. The therapeutic measures which were taken for experimental group were galvanic stimulation, massage and facial expressional exercises while massage and facial expressional exercises were given to subjects in control group. Patients were weekly assessed according to ordinal scale (House Brackmann Facial Nerve Grading System). In experimental group, 14 patients were improved 60%, 11 patients were improved 40%, 3 patients improved 20% & 2 patients Improved 80% while in control group, 22 patients were improved 40%, 3 patients were improved 60% & 5 patients were improved 20%. The result shows significant level at p
