Yuan Wu

Abstract

Objective:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of microsurgical neurovascular decompression on primary trigeminal neuralgia.Methods:Thirty one patients were treated with microsurgical neurovascular decompression.All were followed up for 6 to 12 months.Results:After operation,the trigeminal neuralgia disappeared immediately in all cases.The effective rate was 100%.No pain recurred.Conclusions:Microsurgical neurovascular decompression is safe and effective for treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia.
