Abstract

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation(RFT) of the gasserian ganglion is a routine and effective technique for the treatment of classical trigeminal neuralgia(CTN).In this study we compared its efficacy in patients with CTN and atypically symptomatic or mixed trigeminal neuralgia(MTN).Fifty-seven patients were treated with RFT for trigeminal neuralgia from June 2006 to February 2009.Thirty patients had CTN,and 27 had MTN.Outcomes were measured by using the visual analog pain scale(VAS) and patients' reports of qu...
