Basic Assessment
Email Commentary | Free
We will send you by email a short summary of our conclusions, based on the analysis of your present condition.
If less than 6 weeks have passed since the onset of your facial palsy, then please register for the Video Session or come back later. At this stage, it is too early to give a general recommendation, and we need to speak with you directly to explain all the details.
The session will be helpful to you if:
- you are suffering from a long-term peripheral facial palsy for several months or years (including Bell’s palsy and Ramsay Hunt syndrome)
- you have visible residuals and complications such as synkinesis, facial asymmetry, facial pains, contractures, muscle weakness, excessive tearing, facial muscles fatigue, etc.
- you are in an acute stage of facial palsy – less than 6 weeks since the onset. We will explain what happened to your facial nerve and what you can expect. We will also share with you our best practices, that you can follow during your early stage to facilitate the recovery and reduce the risk of residuals and complications. As we need to speak to you directly for this, in early stages (less than 6 weeks after onset) we only accept registrations for a Video Session.

FAQ
What is the difference between the Diagnostic Video Session and Basic Assessments? How do I choose?
The Basic Assessment provides a short (basic) analysis of your current situation, sent to you by email. The Basic Assessment includes only the analysis of your situation and prognosis for your recovery. Email Session is a good option for you if you would like to receive some clarity, but do not need a lot of explanation.
The Diagnostic Video Session is an in-depth analysis. It is done as a video call over Zoom. The Diagnostic Video Session includes analysis of your current situation, the prognosis for your recovery, answers to your questions, general recommendations on where you can start to help yourself to relieve the symptoms that bother you most, basic on how facial and Bell’s palsy happens and how its recovery progresses. The Diagnostic Video Session is good for you if you would like to receive an in-depth explanation about your current condition and learn where you can start to help yourself to improve it and have a live conversation with our specialist.
