Electrophysiological monitoring of trigeminal nerve sensory root using sensory-masseter response for microvascular decompression in trigeminal neuralgia
This study introduces a novel electrophysiological technique SMR for localizing NVC during microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia. SMR is likely mediated by focal demyelination and sensory-motor anastomoses. Although SMR demonstrates potential in assisting intraoperative localization during MVD, its clinical value requires further validation.
