Clinical trials: Facial Paresis
Congenital Fibrosis of Extraocular Muscles, Duane Retraction Syndrome
Genetic Studies of Strabismus, Congenital Cranial Dysinnervation Disorders (CCDDs), and Their Associated Anomalies
The purpose of this study is to identify genes associated with impaired development and function of the cranial nerves and brainstem, which may result in misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) and related conditions.

Facial Paresis
Using the Deep Temporal Nerves Versus the Masseteric Nerve for Correction of Eyelid Paresis.
The return of eyelid function and facial expression in Patients with facial nerve affection is very important for quality of life.

Facial Nerve Paresis
Functional Electrical Stimulation for Facial Muscles
Partial or complete facial paralysis is the weakness of muscles of facial expression. Facial paralysis causes physical, social and emotional problems.
