Observe Abnormal Potential From the Offending Vessel to the Facial Muscles of HFS Patients

NCT01271634 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The pathophysiologic basis of hemifacial spasm is cross-transmission between different branches of the facial nerve. The hypothesis is that the cross-transmission is mediated by the sympathetic nerve fibers on the surface of the offending artery. The abnormal potential from the offending vessel to the facial muscles will be detected on hemifacial spasm patients, so as to determine if the sympathetic nerve fibers take part in the circuit of cross-transmission.
