Bell\'s palsy is an acute,unilateral facial paresis that significantly affects patient\'s facial symmetry,motor function and quality of life.The primary goal of this randomized controlled trial is to determine if integrating the targeted neural mobilization with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation improves facial symmetry and motor function more effectively than using pnf alone.participants allocated to either experimental group receiving neural mobilization and pnf or control group receiving pnf alone.after approval from ERC FUSH, participants are assessed using housebrackman scale and sunnybrook facial grading system(scales to asses the degree of severity of facial paralysis) at first and fourth week of intervention application.data will be analysed using spss v.22.
