the Value of Sensory Index in Trigeminal Neuralgia

NCT04864964 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 34

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Interventional therapies for Trigeminal Neuralgia are of variable efficacy and safety, and have different results for different periods of time before the recurrence of symptoms. Interventional therapy for TN is either destructive with trigeminal nerve sensory function destroyed intentionally or non-destructive with decompression of the trigeminal nerve and preservation of its regular function. The most common procedures in treating TN pain are the use of radiofrequency (RF). the aim of this study is to assess the possible value of motor index as a prediction of success of radiofrequency lesioning of the Gasserian ganglion during treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
