Description
Keisuke Onoda and colleagues assess internal neurolysis for facial nerve pain without vessel compression in older patients in a 2026 study. Records covered 22 patients split evenly at age 70 into older and younger groups of 11 each. Pain type, recurrence, and nerve signals during surgery were compared, with good outcome set as top grades on a standard pain scale.
Good pain control came to 19 of 22 patients overall, a rate of 86.4 percent in the reported counts. Older patients matched younger ones closely. Typical pain in older patients fared better than atypical pain in that small subgroup. Brief facial numbness arose in three patients and cleared. Nerve signal shifts during surgery tracked with good outcomes.
