Free-running EMG monitoring during microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm

摘要

The aim of this work is to determine if free-running electromyography (frEMG) can detect activity before and after microvascular decompression (MVD) treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS), and to evaluate correlations of frEMG findings with abnormal muscle responses (AMRs) or facial motor-evoked potentials (FMEPs).
