Electroneurography (ENoG) and blink reflex tests acquired within 7-10 days after the onset of paralysis are significant and highly valuable for predicting the prognosis of idiopathic facial nerve paralysis. Higher ENoG values of the muscles innervated by the facial nerve and the absence of R1 on the affected side of the blink reflex are predictive factors for a poor prognosis. The SFGS is a clinical tool that plays an important role in evaluating the prognosis of idiopathic facial paralysis, particularly one month after onset.
