Abstract

BACKGROUNDTo study the therapeutic effects of radiofrequency thermocoagulation for (refractory) trigeminal neuralgia in the gasserian ganglion.CASE REPORTS7 cases of (refractory) (trigeminal) (neuralgia) were treated by radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the gasserian ganglion, the treatment effects was significant after operation, no serious complication occurred in all patients,2 cases showed recurrence after (following) up 1 year.DISCUSSIONRadiofrequency thermocoagulation is a handy safe efficient method to treat the trigeminal neuralgia,and it is necessary to grasp operating skill proficiently in the clinical work, and to (reduce) the rates of complication and recurrence.
