In the United States, a team of researchers has developed a new technique via an electronic device implanted in the face to help restore movement in the paralyzed part.
The first tests conducted by Harvard School of Medicine researchers, Nate Goet, on rats revealed promising results to restore the mobility of half of the paralyzed face by directing electrical signals from the right half to the injured half, helping thus to move the muscles of the face. According to the German news agency.
The researcher stated that half-face paralysis was a "devastating" disease of the patient, which caused functional and aesthetic problems and affected the process of communication between the patient and the community.
Facial reconstruction by movements of muscles or certain nerves may help to restore certain forms of facial movement, although these methods present certain problems: they allow the patient to recover the smile, but this requires mental effort.
During the experiment, researchers installed electrical electrodes with special features around the facial nerve in diseased mice, and electrical signals were transmitted through these electrodes to control the movement of the eye and mustaches.
Although the results of the first experiments of this technique are promising, the researchers point out that the road is still long before the application of this technology to humans.
The study team plans to continue research to create smaller and permanently implanted devices in the face to overcome the problem of facial paralysis.
