Abstract

The modular organization of brain networks in trigeminal neuralgia patients has remained largely unknown. We aimed to analyze the brain modules and intermodule connectivity in patients with trigeminal neuralgia before and after percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy treatment to identify specific modules that may be associated with the development and brain plasticity of trigeminal neuralgia and to test the ability of modularity analysis to be a predictive imaging biomarker for the treatment effect in patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
