DOI: 10.1007/s00266-018-1255-2
Abstract: BackgroundSynkinesis is a recognized complication following peripheral facial nerve paralysis. Different types of synkinesis have been described, with oral–ocular and ocular–oral synkinesis being the most common. Ocular–nasal synkinesis has been reported in two patients following… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-68707-x
Abstract: Although patients with facial palsy often complain of disturbed eye blinking which may lead to visual impairment, a blinking analysis is not part of routine grading of facial palsy. Twenty minutes of spontaneous eye blinking… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-08548-4
Abstract: Facial palsy (FP) can lead to significant psychological and physical burdens such as facial synkinesis. This involuntary simultaneous movement of facial musculature remains challenging to diagnose and treat. This study aimed to develop a cost-effective,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/sap.0000000000004410
Abstract: BACKGROUND Facial synkinesis is characterized by involuntary co-contraction of facial muscles during voluntary movements, impairing both function and aesthetics following facial paralysis. It affects approximately 21% of individuals following Bell's palsy, with symptoms such as… read more here.
