Efficacy of single vs. multiple botulinum toxin type A injections for trigeminal neuralgia
In summary, BTX-A treatment was effective in TN. Elderly patients and patients with good response to the first treatment were more likely to choose to continue BTX-A multiple-treatments. BTX-A remains effective within a group of TN patients who have chosen to continue BTX-A therapy, but the efficacy decreases to a certain extent after multiple treatments.
