Invitation to participate in Core Outcome Set development for people with post-stroke facial palsy survey

Orthoptists are being invited to take part in a research study on the core outcome set study for post-stroke facial palsy.

The aim of this research study is to get agreement on a core outcome set for post-stroke facial palsy (COS-Post-stroke facial palsy). This means we will agree with researchers and healthcare professionals ‘what’ aspects of facial palsy we should measure after stroke. The study involves completing an online survey (first round of the Delphi survey) that takes approximately 10 minutes.

They want to recruit:

  • Healthcare professionals: If you have worked with or currently work with stroke survivors in acute and community settings or work with any sort of facial palsy as a result of stroke, they would love to hear from you about getting involved in this research.
  • Researchers: If you have been involved or are involved in stroke or facial palsy related research, they would love to hear from you about getting involved in this research.

The participant information sheet is available here. This study has been approved by the University of Manchester Research Ethics Committee (2024-21316-38685). If you have any questions about participating in this research please email the lead researcher [email protected]

  1. This survey will ask you to rate various aspects of post-stroke facial palsy and how important they are to you on a scale of 1-9 with 1 the LEAST important and 9 the MOST important.
  2. This survey will collect limited personally identifiable details, including your name and email address (required for participation in the second round of survey) and demographic information (gender, ethnicity, country of residence, and professional experience duration). All personal information will be pseudonymised during data analysis and reporting.
  3. By pressing the “Finish” button at the end of the survey you are confirming you submitted answers and consenting to us using the information you have provided.
  4. If you wish to complete the survey please indicate you have read and understood the Participant Information Sheet (PIS). Otherwise please do not proceed to the survey.

The closing date for the first round of the Delphi survey is the 28th of February. We will close earlier if we reach our target number (n=200).
