Long‐Term Effectiveness of Early Versus Late Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia Secondary to Arterial Compression [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between the duration of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) symptoms prior to initial microvascular decompression (MVD) and long‐term outcomes is unclear. We evaluated whether the pre‐operative symptom duration is associated with complete freedom from pain when MVD is performed as the initial procedure in TN secondary to ...
