To date, however, studies have not addressed serum magnesium concentration in patients with Bell\u2019s palsy. In this article, we hypothesized that these patients may have a decreased serum magnesium concentration compared to healthy controls. Materials and Methods: In the study, a total of 24 patients with Bell\u2019s palsy and 24 healthy individuals matched were investigated. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to determine serum magnesium concentration. The groups were then statistically compared for demographics and serum magnesium concentration. Results: No significant differences were found between Bell\u2019s palsy patients and healthy controls in age ( P = .846), sex ( P = 1.0), and body mass index ( P = .410). However, patients with Bell\u2019s palsy had significantly lower serum magnesium levels (\u00b5g\/dL) compared to healthy controls [11.44 \u00b1 1.54 (8.9-15.8)] versus [27.35 \u00b1 2.82 (24.3-36.2); ( P &lt; .001)]. Conclusions: Our results suggest an association between decreased serum magnesium concentration and Bell\u2019s palsy. However, this is the first study on the topic and its limitations should be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613241266694","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T07:45:13Z","timestamp":1721979913000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Serum Magnesium Concentration in Patients With Bell\u2019s Palsy: A Case-Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6715-6515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Canser Yilmaz","family":"Demir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazim","family":"Bozan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Faculty of Medicine, Van Y\u00fcz\u00fcnc\u00fc Yil University, Van, Turkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13041136"},{"key":"bibr2-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15102355"},{"key":"bibr3-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5958\/2394-2800.2015.00030.9"},{"key":"bibr4-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5812\/ircmj.10394"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr5-01455613241266694","first-page":"301","volume":"30","author":"Karim MR","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mymensingh Med J"},{"key":"bibr6-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.semcdb.2020.11.002"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr7-01455613241266694","first-page":"1","volume":"57","author":"Arancibia-Hern\u00e1ndez YL","year":"2023","journal-title":"Cell Physiol Biochem"},{"issue":"41","key":"bibr8-01455613241266694","first-page":"692","volume":"116","author":"Heckmann JG","year":"2019","journal-title":"Dtsch Arztebl Int"},{"key":"bibr9-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2023.9158"},{"issue":"10","key":"bibr10-01455613241266694","volume":"14","author":"Singh A","year":"2022","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"bibr11-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-019-09282-4"},{"key":"bibr12-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/jomb-2016-0033"},{"key":"bibr13-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000015764"},{"key":"bibr14-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2021.717854"},{"key":"bibr15-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2018.09.015"},{"key":"bibr16-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0076-6879(88)58068-0"},{"key":"bibr17-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s41043-023-00423-0"},{"key":"bibr18-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7556\/jaoa.2018.037"},{"key":"bibr19-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1871527322666230321120618"},{"key":"bibr20-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13010180"},{"key":"bibr21-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13020463"},{"key":"bibr22-01455613241266694","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1684\/mrh.2017.0421"}],"container-title":["Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/01455613241266694","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/01455613241266694","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/01455613241266694","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T18:35:20Z","timestamp":1777401320000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/01455613241266694"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"references-count":22,"alternative-id":["10.1177\/01455613241266694"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/01455613241266694","relation":{},"ISSN":["0145-5613","1942-7522"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0145-5613","type":"print"},{"value":"1942-7522","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"article-number":"01455613241266694"}}
