Step 1: Selecting a Research Paper Topic
PSYC 301
1. The Topic: I've decided to write about Bell's Palsy
Bells palsy is a type of facial paralysis the result of either trauma or damage to one or two of a persons facial nerves.
2. Summarize Symptoms:
Rapid onset of mild weakness to total paralysis on one side of your face — occurring within hours to days
Facial droop and difficulty making facial expressions, such as closing your eye or smiling
Drooling
Pain around the jaw or in or behind your ear on the affected side
Increased sensitivity to sound on the affected side
Headache
A loss of taste
Changes in the amount of tears and saliva you produce
3. Nervous System Changes: Identify one or more nervous system changes. List key types of changes in nervous system associated with the disease or disorder.
The cause of Bell's palsy is not known. It is thought that it may be due to inflammation that is directed by the body's immune system against the nerve controlling movement of the face. This condition results from damage to the facial nerve (the 7th cranial nerve). Pain and discomfort usually occur on one side of the face or head. Symptoms are usually temporary but few may experience the effects for life.
