A review of literature and meta-analysis of one-puncture success rate in radiofrequency thermocoagulation with different guidance techniques for trigeminal neuralgia.

Abstract

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) is a type of Gasserian ganglion-level ablative intervention that is used for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Guidance technologies are used to assist in the cannulation of the foramen ovale (FO) or foramen rotundum (FR) target. We conducted a systematic review to assess the value of different guidance technologies for RFT.
