Preoperative sleep disturbance as a risk factor for moderate-to-severe postoperative pain in hemifacial spasm patients: a prospective cohort study
Preoperative sleep disturbances elevate the risk of patients with hemifacial spasm experiencing moderate-to-severe pain postoperatively. Therefore, proactive management of sleep disturbances prior to surgery represents a valuable strategy for enhancing postoperative analgesia in this patient population. However, the generalizability of these findings is limited to HFS patients undergoing MVD, and further validation in broader surgical cohorts is warranted.
