Immediate postoperative results showed 92% of patients experienced complete pain relief after EA-MVD.
At last follow-up, 78.6% of patients had very good outcomes, while 13.7% experienced pain recurrence within an average of 25 months.
The number of affected trigeminal branches had a significant impact on patient outcomes, with fewer branches linked to better recovery.
EA-MVD proved to be a safe technique with a low major complication rate of 2.2%, indicating a high success rate for this approach.
