About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most common craniofacial neuralgias and one of the most severe types of facial pain, typically limited to the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. The first-line treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is medical therapy and primarily antiepileptic drugs. Various interventional and surgical methods can be used in patients who do not respond to medical treatment or who cannot tolerate side effects. Pulsed radiofrequency treatment of maxillary and mandibular nerves may provide longer-lasting pain relief in trigeminal neuralgia.This study aimed to investigate the clinical and demographic characteristics affecting treatment success in patients who underwent ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency of the maxillary and/or mandibular nerves for trigeminal neuralgia.
