Talk:Debate - Faradic or Galvanic for Bell's Palsy?

 Hello, my name is Wendy and I am the Topic Expert for Facial Palsy and Facial Nerve.

I wonder whether it would be more appropriate to use the phrase "Facial Palsy" instead of "Bell's Palsy"?

In Europe and the USA we now reserve the term Bell's Palsy for facial palsy which is idiopathic in origin, as opposed to caused by Shingles, or tumour such as Acoustic Neuroma, or Lyme Disease, or Multiple Sclerosis, etc. Please see the Facial Palsy page for more information.
