Summary

Animal studies have suggested that nerve regeneration following injury is not always accompanied by the re-establishment of complex synaptic circuitry. For this study we are recruiting patients with a history of Bell’s palsy or the Guillain-Barre syndrome. The study involves electrical testing of nerves on at least two occasions to learn more about how nerves recover following injury. 

Eligibility criteria

• Bell’s palsy
• Guillain-Barre syndrome
