For cutting edge information, it is best to directly consult research oriented medical programs such as Penn State Hershey, UPMC, and the Mayo Clinic. Some organizations exist specifically for facial paralysis, such as the Facial Paralysis Institute. The Standford hospital has a dedicated web page for facial paralysis treatment.

The patient will be asked about medical history, current symptoms of the facial paralysis, whether any other symptoms are present, and whether the patient has recently been sick or injured. Tests to confirm the cause may include blood tests, MRI, CT scan, and electromyography. A combination of physical, speech, and occupational therapy is generally used.
