Taste Dysfunction and Bell's Palsy: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Taste dysfunction is a well‐recognized but inconsistently reported symptom in Bell's palsy. This scoping review found that taste dysfunction is prevalent in these patients, often precedes facial weakness, and commonly improves within 6 months. Standardized, longitudinal studies employing validated psychophysical measures are needed to clarify the ...
