- Abstract
This article is a literature review on the effect of low-intensity laser in the treatment of Peripheral Facial Paralysis (Bell's Palsy). Bell's Palsy is a disorder that affects the facial nerve and causes muscle weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. The low-intensity infrared laser, with a wavelength of 830 nm, was the most commonly used in the studies. Laser treatment has been shown to improve nerve conduction velocity, promote neural regeneration, and produce moderate effects on muscle strength recovery. Additionally, laser combined with other therapies, such as corticosteroids, has been beneficial even in unfavorable conditions, such as diabetes. However, there is no consensus on treatment protocols in the literature.
