Abstract
To compare the advantages and disadvantages of V2 + V3 idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia using peripheral nerve radiofrequency (RF) thermocoagulation (PRF) via the foramen rotundum (FR) and foramen ovale (FO) with those of semilunar ganglion RF thermocoagulation (GRF) under local anesthesia, for exploring a new and available surgical method for patients with V2 + V3 idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia.
