Radiofrequency thermocoagulation of Gasserian ganglion and its rootlets for trigeminal neuralgia.
Thirty-nine patients with trigeminal neuralgia, not controlled by medical treatment, were treated by radio-frequency thermocoagulation of the Gasserian ganglion and its posterior rootlets. Thirty-six received satisfactory pain relief. In 30 patients touch sensation in the treated territory was preserved. The corneal reflex was affected in only six patients, two of whom subsequently developed ke...
متن کاملEfficacy 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 کاملAnaesthetic considerations in percutaneous radiofrequency coagulation of the Gasserian ganglion.
This study determined the cardiovascular effects of percutaneous radiofrequency coagulation of the Gasserian ganglion, performed under neuroleptanalgesia and intermittent ultrashort-acting barbiturate anaesthesia. Twelve ASA physical status class II patients were studied. Highly significant increases in mean heart rate and arterial blood pressure followed the insertion of the cannula electrode ...
متن کاملA comparison of pulsed radiofrequency and continuous radiofrequency on thermocoagulation of egg white in vitro.
BACKGROUND Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF). PRF energy is delivered to neural structures via specifically designed, percutaneously placed needles to treat some chronic pain states. PRF was introduced as a non-destructive alternative to destructive lesioning produced by continuous radiofrequency (CRF) energy. However, there is an ongoing controversy...
متن کاملFacial flushing after thermocoagulation of the Gasserian ganglion.
The development of a facial flush during thermocoagulation of the Gasserian ganglion was monitored in 16 patients with pulse recording techniques and in a further 17 patients with thermography. There was a close association between the development of the facial flush in the distribution of one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve and the subsequent demonstration of postoperative analgesia....
