Facial Nerve with Blink Reflex
The Facial Nerve with Blink Reflex test is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the function of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) and the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). It checks how well the nerves involved in facial movement and blinking are working by measuring the electrical activity of the muscles around the eyes in response to controlled stimulation.
This test is often recommended if you have symptoms such as facial weakness, twitching, facial paralysis, or involuntary blinking. It is useful in diagnosing conditions like Bell's palsy, facial nerve injury, multiple sclerosis, brainstem lesions, or other neuromuscular disorders.
The procedure is safe and noninvasive. Small electrodes are placed on the face, and mild electrical pulses are delivered to specific areas to record the nerve and muscle responses. The test may cause a slight tingling or twitching but is generally well tolerated. Your doctor will use the results to help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.
