Analysis of 37 cases of percutaneous balloon compression for primary trigeminal neuralgia: experience and outcome from a single center

PBC is an effective and safe minimally invasive technique for managing primary TN, demonstrating high rates of immediate pain relief. Despite being associated with transient complications, PBC allows for a rapid recovery and return to normal activities. These findings underscore the need for careful patient selection and consideration of potential postoperative complications when opting for PBC vs. MVD. Further studies should explore long-term outcomes and strategies to minimize complications associated with PBC.
