Efficacy and Safety of Repeated Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation on Trigeminal Neuralgia Patients

Key Points

• To evaluate the efficacy and safety of repeated radiofrequency thermocoagulation in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
• Evaluated patients with persistent trigeminal neuralgia after conservative treatment failure.
• Assessed outcomes after repeat radiofrequency thermocoagulation procedures.
• Monitored safety and any associated risks with multiple interventions.
• Radiofrequency thermocoagulation was effective in managing trigeminal neuralgia symptoms.
• Efficacy diminished with each subsequent procedure.
• Risks increased notably after the third intervention.
