Summary

This is a study about the dynamics and effects of ultrasound guided maxillary nerve block in trigeminal neuralgia

Detailed description

Standard pharmacological treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is often insufficient. In this setting, patients often suffer trough everyday activities and quality of life is disturbed substantially. In this prospective clinical study, analgesic effect of ultrasound (US) guided maxillary nerve block will be investigated, in order to prolong pain-free time, reduce the use of standard analgesics, as well as atypical ones (e.g. antiepileptic drugs and antidepressants). Characteristics of US guided maxillary nerve block will pain investigated: reduction of pain (decrease of VAS score), duration of pain-free period, pain level during the procedure.

Conditions

• Trigeminal Neuralgia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	US guided block of maxillary nerve	Extraoral ultrasound-guided block of the maxillary nerve will be performed in the examined group using an ultrasound device and local anesthetic levobupivacaine (0,5%, 2 mL) combined with triamcinolonacetonid (2mL).
