Retrospective evaluation of treatment outcomes of Gasserian ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation in trigeminal neuralgia patients with multiple sclerosis

To our knowledge, this may represent one of the most extensive retrospective case series evaluating the combined use of RFT and PRF in patients with MS-related TN. The treatment was found to be effective and well-tolerated, with no significant procedure-related complications observed. While the results are encouraging, further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to validate these findings.

Abstract

To our knowledge, this may represent one of the most extensive retrospective case series evaluating the combined use of RFT and PRF in patients with MS-related TN. The treatment was found to be effective and well-tolerated, with no significant procedure-related complications observed. While the results are encouraging, further prospective studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to validate these findings.
