Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia was the diagnosis in 252 patients. 34 patients had trigeminal neuralgia associated with multiple sclerosis. The remaining 33 patients suffered from symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia or atypical facial pain. 230 patients (91.3%) with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia and 30 patients (88.2%) with multiple sclerosis reported complete freedom from pain. In 12 patients (4.8%) of those with tic douloureux and in 1 patient (2.9%) with multiple sclerosis, pain was alleviated, and the patients required a reduced pharmacotherapy. 10 patients (3.9%) and 3 patients (8.8%) were considered to be treatment failures. The rate of recurrences within the first 2 years was 10.9 and 40.0%, respectively. In the long-term, the rate of recurrences in patients with tic douloureux was 36.9%. 144 patients (45.1%) noticed a hypesthesia. 132 patients (41.4%) had hypalgesia following the procedure, and there was a decrease of symptoms in the long-term observation in 20.0% of the patients. 59 patients (18.5%) developed dysesthesia postoperatively which regressed only to an inappreciable extent in the long-term course. In 16 patients (5.0%) exclusively with a preexisting organic lesion or who had received surgical pretreatment, there was a loss of corneal sensation. The investigation showed on the one hand the effectiveness of the method, but on the other hand also the possibility of marked sensory disorder in selected cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":75525,"journal":{"name":"Applied neurophysiology","volume":"50 1-6","pages":"401-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1159/000100748","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14626768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
