Implication

This systematic review evaluates treatment strategies for glossopharyngeal neuralgia, suggesting surgical approaches and individualizing care.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate treatments for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) and establish optimal strategies.
Conducted a systematic review of current treatment options for GPN.
Analyzed the effectiveness of microvascular decompression (MVD) versus pharmacological therapies.
Identified patient criteria for optimal surgical candidacy.
MVD is the preferred treatment when pharmacological therapy fails and vascular compression is present.
Alternative treatments should be tailored for patients where MVD is not possible.
Recommendations for future high-quality studies to improve treatment strategies.
