Summary
This study aims to find recurrence rate of the trigeminal neuralgia after patients undergo stereotactic rhizotomy by radiofrequency ablation at 80 degrees Celsius for 90 seconds under fluoroscopic guidance, a protocol that was modified from the originally described parameters for rhizotomy by John Tew, Chad J. Morgan and Andresw Grande et al. The presumption being that the higher temperature of the probe tip would lead to a more long-lasting lesion and lesser recurrence, but at the cost of more frequent sensory and motor deficits.
