This may include the primary sensory neurons, since the severed axons could have regenerated (but even if these cells degenerated, the remainder of the pathway did not). Anything that stimulates the sensory nerve in the stump may cause signals to go to the area of the cerebral cortex that once received inputs only from the hand.

The condition is Bell's palsy, which is caused by inflammation of the facial nerve. This problem is easily distinguished from tic douloureux, as it is usually painless and disappears on its own within a few days to weeks.
