Percutaneous radiofrequency Gasserian ganglion coagulation in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
Fifty-three patients with trigeminal neuralgia were treated with percutaneous radiofrequency Gasserian ganglion coagulation. An individually adjusted degree of coagulation was applied. ⋯ Four patients experienced side effects consisting of troublesome facial dysaesthesia.
