| Summary: | This article illustrated a brief review of some objective methods in assessing facial nerve function
for facial nerve paralysis which were correlated with House-Brackmann Grading System (HBGS). A
rigorous search of online databases such as Springer, Elsevier and IEEE was conducted from June, 2015
to November, 2016 to discover and analyze the previous works in facial nerve assessment methods for
facial paralysis. Several domains such as facial grading system and methods used to evaluate the facial
nerve function were extracted for further analysis. Different keywords were used to acquire the studies
based on the desire criteria. A total of 8 articles were identified and were analyzed for inclusion in this
search. In conclusion, this review has presented an initial overview for further improvements in objective
facial nerve assessment which has to be correlated with subjective assessment to make it more reliable
and useful in clinical practice. |
