Efficacy and safety of continuous radiofrequency thermocoagulation plus pulsed radiofrequency for treatment of V1 trigeminal neuralgia
Patients may develop serious eye complications after continuous radiofrequency thermocoagulation (CRF) for V1 (ophthalmic division) trigeminal neuralgia (TN) at a higher temperature. Therefore, the temperature of clinical CRF for V1 TN has long been disputed, but there have few reports been found about how to achieve satisfactory pain relief, reduce the incidence rates of complications, and sho...
متن کاملpulsed radiofrequency treatment for trigeminal neuralgia
conclusions prf of the trigeminal ganglion should be further evaluated as an alternative treatment method for tn. results the percentages of patients who showed excellent pain relief (≥ 80% pain relief) at 2, 6, and 12 months were 73.5% (25/34), 61.8% (21/34), and 55.9% (19/34), respectively. the percentages of patients showing satisfactory pain relief (50–80% pain relief) at 2, 6, and 12 month...
متن کاملPulsed Radiofrequency Treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia
BACKGROUND Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment is defined as the delivery of short pulses of radiofrequency via a needle tip, which does not result in an actual thermal lesions. There are mixed views regarding the use of PRF for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). In our opinion, one of the main reasons for the contrasting views is the insufficient PRF dose employed in previous studies. In a recent st...
متن کاملThe optimal radiofrequency temperature in radiofrequency thermocoagulation for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia
OBJECTIVE Our previous study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) of trigeminal gasserian ganglion for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN). The aim of this study was to evaluate the optimal radiofrequency temperature of computed tomography (CT)-guided RFT for treatment of ITN. METHODS A retrospective study of patients with ITN treated with a singl...
متن کاملComparison of nerve combing and percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment for idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia.
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) is a common pain disease in elderly people. Many methods have been used to alleviate the pain of patients, but few studies in the literature have compared the effect of nerve combing and percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the clinical outcome of idiopathic trigeminal...
