Long-Term Efficacy and Complications of Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation at Different Temperatures for the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Biochemistry Research International, 2020
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a common neuropathic pain that seriously affects the daily life of patients. Many invasive treatments are currently available for patients who respond poorly to oral carbamazepine or oxcarbazepine. Among them, radiofrequency (

Superficial cervical plexus block for management of herpes zoster neuralgia in the C3 dermatome: a case report [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Herpes zoster is a well-known reactivating viral disease that gives rise to painful skin lesions. Although this vesicular rash heals up within a few weeks, pain sometimes continues, becoming postherpetic neuralgia.

Semiology in spontaneous versus cortical stimulation‐induced seizures during SEEG: A within‐patient comparison study

Epilepsia Open, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 488-503, April 2026.
Abstract Objective We aimed to study the concordance of seizure semiology in direct electrical stimulation‐induced seizures (SIS) compared to spontaneous seizures during stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) and to report on patient‐level variables associated with habitual and atypical SIS.

Comparative safety and efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation and percutaneous balloon compression in CT-guided and local anesthesia for recurrent trigeminal neuralgia

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundThere are several ways to treat trigeminal neuralgia (TN); however, TN may recur after treatment. Although microvascular decompression (MVD) is considered an effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, patients with recurrence may not be ...

Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Grading the intensity of nondental orofacial pain: Identification of cutoff points for mild, moderate, and severe pain [PDF]

, 2015
Background: When assessing pain in clinical practice, clinicians often label pain as mild, moderate, and severe. However, these categories are not distinctly defined, and are often used arbitrarily.
