Effectiveness of Microvascular Decompression (MVD) for Trigeminal Neuralgia (TGN) in Terms of Improvement in Facial Pain

Indus Journal of Bioscience Research
Background: For intractable TN of any kind and other cranial nerve issues, micro-vascular decompression (MVD) is currently the gold standard surgical technique.  With few complications and little post-operative pain, it is the preferred safe and efficient treatment for persistent pain for people of all ages.  The purpose of this study was to assess how

Exploring biomarkers in trigeminal neuralgia patients operated with microvascular decompression: A comparison with multiple sclerosis patients and non‐neurological controls

European Journal of Pain, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 929-942, July 2024.
Abstract Background Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a severe facial pain condition often associated with a neurovascular conflict. However, neuroinflammation has also been implicated in TN, as it frequently co‐occurs with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods We analysed protein expression levels of TN patients compared to MS patients and controls.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical trials assessing safety and efficacy of human extracellular vesicle‐based therapy

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Nowadays, it has become clear that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are not a cellular waste disposal vesicle but are an essential part of an intercellular communication system. Besides the use of EVs in biomarker studies and diagnostics, the potential of EV‐therapeutics has been seen by many.

Differentiation of arterial and venous neurovascular conflicts estimates the clinical outcome after microvascular decompression in trigeminal neuralgia

BMC Neurology, 2020
Background Balanced Steady State Free Precession (b-SSFP) sequences and the newly developed Fast-Spin-Echo (FSE)-sequences enable an optimized visualization of neurovascular compression (NVC) in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Arterial conflicts
