Effects of the length of preoperative conservative management on postoperative outcomes after primary microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia
In the setting of primary MVD for patients with TN, a longer duration of preoperative conservative management was associated with higher postoperative BNI pain scores and increased risk of pain recurrence. These findings suggest a potential beneficial role for early surgical intervention.
