Hemifacial Spasm Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigating the Etiology of Hemifacial Spasm (HFS): The Role of Desflurane
Patients are chosen to participate in this study because they will undergo a particular type of brain surgery to treat their hemifacial spasm. This surgery is called microvascular decompression (MVD) and involves the facial nerve. The facial nerve is being compressed by one or more blood vessels and this contact produces the facial twitches. The investigators do not know why a blood vessel that touches the facial nerve produces facial twitches. The investigators are interested in investigating this during your surgery. A total of 25 participants are expected to participate in this study.
"Intra Operative Monitoring" (IOM) is a standard and routine medical practice for patients
having MVD surgery. IOM is done to make sure that the hearing and face nerves are not
accidentally bumped or damaged during surgery. After anesthetic induction, the
neurophysiologist places electrodes for the nerves, on the scalp and muscles. Stimulation and
monitoring of muscle twitches are all common, safe and painless medical procedures.
In this study, the investigators would like to measure the nerve and muscle function on the
normal side and compare it to nerve and muscle function on the abnormal side during different
levels of the anesthetic desflurane. In order to monitor the normal side of the face one
additional set of electrodes will be placed in the facial muscles. The investigators will
compare responses to three different levels of anesthetic. The technique used will be motor
evoked potentials. The effect of the anesthesia on the lateral spread response will also be
examined. This response is evident only on the symptomatic side. These observations will take
approximately 10 to 15 minutes and will not delay or lengthen the surgery.
