Radiofrequency thermocoagulation combined with pulsed radiofrequency for gasserian ganglion blockage
Ağrı - The Journal of The Turkish Society of Algology, 2018 Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) has been effectively treated by radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) of the gasserian ganglion. Recently, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is becoming an alternative therapy for patients with trigeminal neuralgia. It is unclear whether the combination of RFT with PRF may decrease post-operative complications while maintaining ...
