Prednisone, antivirals, steriods, B vitamins, Methylcobalamin, other non medicinal treament options are used but most require some type of medicinal intervention to help. Rest helps, oral hygeine, eye care, eyes drops while using computer or reading to keep the eyes moist and not letting them dry out, sometimes sounds are a trigger, moist heat, exercising the affected area is not recommended, and decompression surgery's con's greatly outweigh the pro's.

I had Bell's Palsy as a child and I had to go into the hospital for a few shock therapy treatments where they would put this gel-like or Vaseline type stuff and then shock the nerves in my face. Not exactly sure how many or for how long, but I'd guess about 4 treatments and I had it for about 4-5 months. Hope this helps!

Bell's palsy is one of the most challenging forms of pain.
I don't know if this recommendation will help, but it is worth investigating. Sherry Rogers, M.D. has written a powerful book called: "Pain Free in 6 Weeks". She explains many unusual causes of pain (including some neuropathic pains). There may be some issues she covers that will be helpful for you.
The book is available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.
Best wishes and good luck.

Have you consulted a Speech-Language Pathologist? She/He could provide you with exercises and possibly some e-stim treatments that may help. To locate one near you call your local hospital, ask your doc or go to www.asha.org ...Also www.bellspalsy.com (or maybe .org) has some great tips and exercises.
