Abstract
Objective:To explore the methods and indications of radiofrequency thermocoagulation surgery treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.Methods:Radiofrequency thermocoagulation,matched with electrode and guided by CT,was used to impair the sensory branch of trigeminal nerve at 70℃-75℃,through puncturing percutaneously the trigeminal nerve root in the oral hole Results:The total efficiency was 98.04%,the inefficiency was 1.96%,and the recurrence rate was 1.96%.Conclusion:CT-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia was security,and it can be used widely.the effect is significan,The method is safe especially for the patients with cardiovascular diseases.
