Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of radiofrequency of the Gasserian ganglion versus peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.

Detailed description

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is defined as sudden, severe, short-term, stabbing and recurrent pain in the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. Many invasive treatments are available for patients who respond poorly to medical therapy. Among them, radiofrequency therapy is a viable option with a reliable initial and long-term clinical efficacy.

Conditions

• Trigeminal Neuralgia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	radiofrequency of gasserian ganglion	radiofrequency ablation of the gasserian ganglion
PROCEDURE	radiofrequency of the peripheral trigeminal branches	radiofrequency of the peripheral trigeminal branches ( maxillary, mandibular, supraorbital)
