PURPOSE: Peripheral facial nerve palsy is a severely disabling condition. In current clinical practice, the commonest tools to assess facial palsy are grading scales, digital face image analyses or facial muscle electrophysiology. However, these techniques suffer from subjectivity or invasiveness and cannot be applied as part of a routine clinical assessment. Therefore, novel non-invasive office-based tools are needed. Surface electromyography (sEMG) may potentially fulfill the requirements of objectivity, low examiner-dependence, and minimal invasiveness. The aim of this systematic review is to define the state of the art on the use of sEMG for facial nerve functional assessment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were systematically searched. The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO in January 2023. The review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines.
RESULTS: After the application of inclusion-exclusion criteria, 15 manuscripts with adequate relevance to this topic were included in the review.
CONCLUSIONS: Facial sEMG represents a potentially useful tool to implement objective quantification of facial nerve function in clinical practice. Given the heterogeneity of methods and analysis in the available studies, sEMG results are hardly comparable. The introduction of methodological guidelines, followed by large prospective studies on well-defined subsets of patients with facial nerve impairment, is advocated.
