<p style="text-align: justify;">The article presents an analysis of modern studies assessing the effectiveness of various methods aimed at psychological assistance to patients with facial nerve damage. Despite the fact that impaired facial mobility is a serious challenge for a person, the availability of psychological help for patients is very limited. About 70% of patients have symptoms of emotional maladaptation, which are more common in women and are more dependent on the subjective assessment of their condition. Analysis of studies has shown the important role of psychological education of the population about the problems of this clinical group in reducing stigmatization and social fears of patients. In addition, results were found indicating the effectiveness of self-help methods that can replace a one-time consultation with a specialist and ensure the availability of psychological help. Studies of psychotherapeutic intervention are mainly based on methods of the cognitive-behavioral approach, however, they were conducted on small samples that include other nosologies associated with facial lesions. A few studies on group therapy have yielded conflicting results. On the one hand, the developed trainings did not provide improvements in the long term; on the other hand, the group organization of therapeutic activities can have a positive effect on the emotional state of patients. The results obtained indicate the importance of developing protocols and recommendations for providing psychological assistance to patients with damage to the facial nerve, and also indicate the need to develop an evidence-based approach to the care provided<strong>.</strong></p>

Acute Facial Nerve Palsy in Children: Gold Standard Management

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Facial nerve palsy (FNP) is a common illness in the paediatric emergency department. Missed or delayed diagnosis can have a serious impact on a patient’s quality of life. The aim of this article is to give a recent overview of this pathology in terms of the causes, diagnosis, red flag symptoms, complementary examinations, treatments and follow-up in the child population. In cases of acquired, acute onset and isolated FNP, Bell’s palsy can be assumed, and no further investigation is required. In any other scenario, complementary examinations are required. Treatment depends on the aetiology. Corticosteroids, in addition to antiviral medication, are recommended to treat Bell’s palsy whenever a viral infection is suspected. However, the lack of randomised control trials in the paediatric population does not allow us to comment on the effectiveness of these treatments. In all cases, treated or not, children have a very good recovery rate. This review emphasises the necessity of randomised control trials concerning this frequent neurological pathology in order to better treat these children.
