03:20 - Q1: I had a little improvement since my onset, but should I worry if I still can’t smile after 1 month?
04:12 - Q2: Should I use hot compress on my affected side?
06:02 - Q3: Chewing on a chewing gum during Bell’s palsy - can it help my nerve to recover, or will it make it worse?

09:39 - Q6: Do you have practical steps to advise that we can do at home to help manage synkinesis? (eg. self massage, cold/warm compress?)
14:07 - Q7: You are very unique and hard to find any specialist clinic in Europe. Why do you think it’s so hard to get the right advice?

41:26 - Q21: I’ve developed synkinesis - what can be done to reduce the effects of this is it permanent?
42:38 - Q22: My face (affected side) is swollen all the time. Do I need to give warm massages or there are any other hacks for reducing the swelling?

Алексей Юрьевич, спасибо! Несмотря на то, что я очень много узнала от Вас и Елены Борисовны в процессе своей индивидуальной реабилитации, этот эфир - очень интересный, познавательный и вдохновляющий! Жду новых эфиров!
Добрый день, Вера! Пишу Вам с целью узнать как проходила Ваша индивидуальная реабилитация лица с помощью данной клиники? У меня уже на протядении больше 2-х лет стойкая глазно-оральная синкинезия после неврита л.н. и я не сдаюсь - очень хочу восстановить своё прежнее лицо! Сильно заинтересовала клиника "Кристалл Тач", на которую возлагаю огромную надежду! Жаль, узнала о ней только совсем недавно!..😒 Запоем просматриваю все видеоматериалы, вникаю и ..плачу от невозможности пролечиться у этих замечательных профессионалов своего дела!😢 Живу в российской глубинке. Мне 50 лет. Паралич случился в авг. 2020г.
Буду очень Вам благодарна и признательна за Ваш правдивый и искренний ответ, Вера! 🙏
Большое спасибо !
Bedankt, echt goeie adviezen!❤
thank you dr.
I had a bells palsy three years ago and my face has still not fully recovered. When I blink my mouth twitches from the affected side. I also get spasms in the nose and involuntary nostril flares when stressed etc. I have been offered botox to stop the twitches but any movement is better than paralysis and I try to ser my little twitch every time I blink as a constant reminder of my journey and when I'm stressed/high blood pressure and I get my spasms I try to see it as a reminder to take it easy and listen to my body.. it does get easier xxx
Как Ваше самочувствие и Ваше лицо на сегодня, дорогая? Удалось ли как то уменшить синкинезию! У меня то же самое!..😒
Спасибо за ответы❤️
I have snkyness frm past 2year i cant raise my eyebrows till now nd if i laugh my eye is closing
Многое почерпнула из Ваших лекций, убедилась что изначально было неправильное лечение и процедуры были усиленные, а не лёгкие и расслабляющие.Уже отчаялась,но Вы даёте надежду,хотя скоро полгода.Спасибо
Та же самая беда, и те же самые ощущения и у меня, Тамара! Прошло уже 2 года как появилась синкинезия..😐 Улучшения совсем незначительные есть - меньше дёргается уголок рта при моргании и приёме пищи. Но стоит чуть понервничать или излишне поэмоционировать, а также при прохладной ветрянной погоде - всё возвращается на круги своя!..(( Порядком достало!😓 А как Ваше личико себя чувствует? Вы принимаете какие-либо восстановительные препараты или процедуры?
Добрый день, у меня лицевой гемиспазм. 6 мес. назад была проведена операция по декомпрессии лицевого нерва, прокладкой отделили нерв от артерии. Но увы, операция не помогла. Что делать теперь?

Is it advised to tape the affected side to reduce stress on the muscle?
During the acute stage, and at later stages if necessary, it is advised to tape the eye or use an eye patch or moisture chamber to prevent damage to the cornea.
As for the muscles, there is no need to tape them. During the acute stage, there is no connection between the brain and the facial muscles, as the facial nerve is damaged. This does not injure the muscles. During the recovery stage, and later on, taping will not help to reduce any stress on the muscles, as all the signals come from the brain. This includes exaggerated signals that may lead to spasms. Taping the muscles will not reduce those signals. On the contrary, it might increase the signals as a taped muscle will not move, and the brain will try even harder (by sending stronger signals) to move the muscles. This relates to the system of facial proprioception and the way muscles and brain communicate with each other via the nerves.
I hope that answers your question. If not, please feel free to contact us with more questions vis info@crystal-touch.nl
When I rub my lips together my eye closes. When I massage my eye and cheek it seems to help with the eye closure. I will continue this any other advice will help. My eye is also very small vs the unaffected side. How can I relieve the contraction?
Monica, please speak directly with our specialists at info@crystal-touch.nl or register for a video consultation for more detailed and personalized answers, as we need to analyze your individual case before we can provide any specific advice. You can find more details on our website: crystal-touch.nl/online-bells-palsy-consultation/
Dr this bell's palsy is occurring at the lips of the mouth or both jaws?
Bell's palsy is a paralysis of one side of the face. If you experience a paralysis at the lips only or in your jaws, the problem is probably something else. In either case, you should go and see your doctor.
should i use tapes while sleeping. or in the morning, how many hours?
If you cannot close your eye fully, you should use the tape or a moisture chamber at night and during the day as you feel the need. You can also consult your doctor about the duration.
Алексей Юравич помогите пожалуйста можно вылечить ребенка родившися лицевым невритом ей сейчас 10 лет но врач сказал она не излечима она такой родилась мне больно за ребенка
i just want it to stop- is it a ridiculous thought to wonder that if the synkenesis could be also caused or induced on the non paralyzed side of my face then the balance and symmetry would be in alignment atleast more?
There isn't really way to "induce" synkinesis on the healthy side. Indeed, synkinesis can be very devastating and life-changing. It can have a strong effect on your emotions and quality of life. The good news is that synkinesis can be reduced. So there isn't a need to try to make your face symmetrical by forcing synkinesis on the healthy side (which is not possible). Instead, it is better to work on improving your affected side. Synkinesis will not go away by itself. You would have to work on it every day, for several months at least, until you will start seeing improvement. But, it is possible, and we are certain of that because we have successfully helped many patients with synkinesis to reduce its manifestations, and more importantly, to return their self-confidence and quality of life. If you are prepared to start working on it, step one would be to register for a diagnostic session, so we can speak with you, analyze your condition, let you know what results would be possible in your situation and develop a plan with further steps for your recovery: crystal-touch.nl/online-bells-palsy-diagnostic-session/
Hello Dr. Pashov, iam suffering from ideopathic Bell's Palsy since 6 Months now. The symmetry of my face is back but many of the movements are not fully back. Little synkinesis has also started. Iam right now just doing twice a day gentle massage and stretchkng. My ques is whether PNF technique will be helpful now or will make the snykinesis worse. Please help.

Здравствуйте
У меня неврит лицевого нерва, нерв не восстанавливается уже больше года, скажите пожалуйста что можно сделать
Добрый день,
Сказать или посоветовать что-то определенное без предварительного осмотра, мы не можем, к сожалению. По простой причине что неподходящий совет просто не приведёт ни к каким результатам. Каждый случай невропатии лицевого нерва очень индивидуален и требует разного подхода для достижения результатов. Тем более если прошло более года.
Что мы можем посоветовать без предварительного осмотра, Вы можете узнать в это видео czcams.com/video/-DYnPuzbIa8/video.html
Для осмотра и более подробного ответа по Вашему случаю, можете записаться на онлайн диагностику: crystal-touch.nl/ru/online-bells-palsy-diagnostic-session-ru/
Is there any chance for a Bell's Palsy patient like me to recover, I suffered this situation for 74 yrs,
my eyes doesn't close when I'm sleeping, that caused my eyes cornea damage .
It depends on the causes and your history with Bell's palsy, but in general, it can be possible to see improvements after 74 years. Please take a look at this article to understand why, and contact us if you would like more information: crystal-touch.nl/is-bells-palsy-permanent/
Do you have any branches in other countries doctor?
We are located only in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. But we also provide some help online, for those who cannot come to the clinic due to the travel limitations. To reach out for help online, please register for an online diagnostic session: crystal-touch.nl/online-bells-palsy-diagnostic-session/
How much money would it cost. I want to visit your clinic.
Can you please reach out to info@crystal-touch.nl ?
Прошла транскраниальную стимуляцию мозга, озонотерапию, магнит,миоритм,иглоукалывание - но результат не радует. Невролог советует ещё тоже пройти через месяц. А нужно ли ?
Добрый день, Тамара. Не зная деталей Вашего случая и состояния, я не могу определить что нужно в Вашей ситуации для восстановления. Чтобы дать более подробный совет нам необходимо узнать больше деталей о истории болезни и состоянии Вашего лицевого нерва и мышц на сегодняшний день. Мы проводим диагностику дистанционно. Если Вас интересует данная возможность, можете узнать больше на нашем сайте: crystal-touch.nl/ru/online-bells-palsy-diagnostic-session-ru/
скажите пожалуйста, а что делать если нерв не восстанавливается больше года после черно мозговой травмы?
Добрый день, Ирина. Пожалуйста, напишите нашим специалистам напрямую через info@crystal-touch.nl
Can I use tape on my face wen I'm sleeing
It depends on what you are taping and for which purpose. Taping your eye, if it does not close properly, can be good, in order to protect the cornea. If you mean to use it for something else, please elaborate.
Уже полгода,а восстановления нет,глаз не закрывается,рот немного выравнялся головокружение,координация нарушена,закладывает уши.что делать?
Здравствуйте Тамара! Я сама в такой ситуации. И никто не говорит, что делать? У меня ещё непрерывно льется слеза и течет из носа... Была парализована левая сторона. Как вы? Изменения есть?
