Background: Facial nerve palsy causes facial asymmetry, impaired voluntary movements which lead to significant facial motor dysfunction and psychosocial distress. Rehabilitation strategies have traditionally relied on mirror therapy using physical mirrors which provide visual feedback to facilitate motor relearning. Recent advancements like Mirror Book Therapy have emerged as neuroplasticity driven approach enhancing therapy effectiveness and accessibility promoting facial function recovery. Aims and Objectives: The review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Mirror Book Therapy on facial symmetry in patients with peripheral facial palsy including traditional mirror book and digital mirroring approaches. Materials and methods: The literature was searched for relevant randomised control trials in PubMed, Google Scholar, Research Gate databases using keywords 'mirror book therapy', 'mirror visual feedback', 'peripheral facial palsy' and 'facial symmetry'. The studies from inception to December 2025 were searched. Thirty-two studies were retrieved, out of which six were included in the final review.
