Bell's Palsy can now be curedAccording to experts from Scotland, Bell’s Palsy that is a syndrome causing muscles on one side of the face to become paralyzed, is now curable by a new kind of steroid treatment. It is worth noting here that Bell’s Palsy tends to affect the facial nerve that is used by the humans to smile and close their eyes.

It was found by researchers at the Dundee University that treating this disorder with prednisolone at an early stage can cure some people in as fast as three months besides offering a 95 percent chance of complete recovery in a matter of nine months.

From News-Medical.Net:

The new study says that the relatively cheap steroid prednisolone was the “best treatment” and offered “significantly” better recovery rates than the anti-viral agent acyclovir, which they say “has little benefit”.

Professor Frank Sullivan, the director of the Scottish School of Primary Care at the university, and his team examined about 500 sufferers and he says the new treatment offers a significant improvement in how Bell’s Palsy is dealt with and will make a real difference to patients.

Professor Sullivan says the study gives clear-cut evidence that early treatment with steroids offers by far the best results for complete recovery.

The study was led by Dundee University, with support from other Scottish universities at Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow and GP services around the country.

The findings have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

It is believed that every one out of 60 people are affected by Bell’s Palsy at one point of their lifetime and this treatment option can open doors of new and improvised treatment option for this disorder.

It was also concluded during the study that relatively cheap steroid prednisolone was a far better option than the anti-viral agent acyclovir.
