Hello Christopher, I have used a neuromuscular stimulator (Respond Select ) on a lady with mild bells palsy of 3 years duration (following giving birth to her second child) and this worked very well. I heard later of a study reporting success in electrical treatment for bell's - can't remember the author, title or journal (3 out of 3 - not bad!) but remember that it was a reasonable study. Someone out there may remember it. Cheers, Anna.
