Abstract
It is no longer a luxury for rich people, nowadays mobile phone (MP) is used by everyone and it becomes one of the features of modern living. Exposure to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted by MP could affect health directly. There is an increasing suspicion regarding MP causing peripheral nerve dysfunction. Of this study wasto investigate the effect of EMR emitted by a cell phone onfacial nerve functions in normal healthy subjects. Thirty normal healthy subjects, both gendersaged 18 to 26 years oldwith a mean of (21.36 ± 2.2). The participants were divided into 2 groups as follows: facial nerve side exposed to electromagnetic waves emitted from cell phone and non-exposed side. A 30 minutes MP call was done by the participants. The MP applied to the side usually used during calls.Facial nerve functions represented by nerve excitability test (NET) andamplitude and latency were measured bilaterally and recorded before, immediately after and 30 minutes after the call
