Etude de la plasticité cérébrale et de la Reconnaissance Des émotions en magnétoencéphalographie Chez Les Patients paralysés Faciaux Avant et après réhabilitation Motrice de la Face
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Behavioral tasks with MEG recording for Facial Palsy and Surgery. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Facial palsy (of one hemiface) affects the sensorimotor representation of the face of the patients, and possibly also their mental representation of emotional facial expressions. Three surgical techniques are performed to rehabilitate the face motricity in patients with severe facial palsy: Facio-facial anastomosis (AFF), Hypoglosso-facial anastomosis (AHF), and Lengthening temporalis myoplasty (LTM). Our objective is to study brain plasticity and facial emotion recognition in patients with facial palsy before and after surgical rehabilitation, using non invasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) recording during motor and emotion recognition tasks.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The patients will undergo two visits, during which MEG will be recorded in two types of behavioral tasks: motor task and emotion recognition task. One visit will take place before surgery. The second visit will take place after the surgical intervention and the face motor rehabilitation, 3 to 18 months after the 1st visit.
