A facial nerve test can be called electroneurography.
Electroneurography Explained
Electroneurography is used to evaluate the functionality of peripheral nerves, including the facial nerve. Ideally, it is performed within 14 days of paralysis onset. The results from this test help doctors determine whether further testing or intervention may be required.
