Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment Of the Gasserian Ganglion for tRigeminal nEuralgia: a retroSpective Study

Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment Of the Gasserian Ganglion for tRigeminal nEuralgia: a retroSpective Study

With the Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment (PRF) Of the Gasserian ganglion for tRigeminal nEuralgia: a retroSpective Study (PROGRESS) the objective is to document the outcome of PRF (Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment) for patients with TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia), unresponsive to conservative treatment.

Primary objective:

To determine the proportion of patients in which PRF (pulsed radiofrequency) of the Gasserian ganglion for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) provides acute pain relief of at least 50% on the GPE (Global perceived effect) score (six weeks after treatment)

Secondary objectives:

- To determine the duration during which PRF of the Gasserian ganglion for trigeminal neuralgia provides a reduction of at least 50% on the GPE (Grade Point Equivalent) score.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with trigeminal neuralgia who underwent their first PRF of the Gasserian ganglion between 01/09/2013 and 31/08/2021

Exclusion Criteria:

• None
