A Proposal for Standardized Analysis of Microvascular Decompression Results in Hemifacial Spasm
A standardized analysis of MVD outcomes in hemifacial spasm is essential to evaluate not only patient-reported satisfaction but also to integrate spasm relief, symptom persistence, complications, and recurrence into a single score. MVD results should be assessed through comprehensive satisfaction metrics incorporating subjective evaluations from patients and surgeons.
