Assessment of Diagnostic Knowledge and the Management of Bell’s Palsy Among Primary HealthCare Physicians in Saudi Arabia
Although PCPs showed a strong understanding of Bell's palsy, significant gaps were identified in advanced diagnostic and management areas. Addressing these deficiencies, particularly in corticosteroid dosing and structured diagnostic frameworks, is essential to enhancing clinical preparedness. These findings underscore the need for targeted educational interventions, including online training and standardized diagnostic protocols, to bridge knowledge gaps, improve diagnostic accuracy, and optimize patient management strategies.
