Observational study of radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study follows people with trigeminal neuralgia to see how radiosurgery treatment affects their facial pain. It may help doctors better understand who benefits when medicines do not control the pain enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- Your facial pain is diagnosed as classic trigeminal neuralgia
- Your pain has not been controlled well enough with the strongest (maximum) medicine you can tolerate
- Your pain level is severe (BNI score IV or V)
- Your trigeminal neuralgia is not caused by another condition like a tumor, abnormal blood vessel, or multiple sclerosis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses computer-based (AI) predictions to better understand what happens after a specific procedure for trigeminal neuralgia, a face pain condition. It also checks how well a “pain neuromodulation” approach works and what it feels like over time.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) before and after Gamma Knife treatment to see how the treatment affects brain connections related to facial pain. It aims to understand why the treatment works, which may help improve future pain management.
This study compares two types of pulsed radiofrequency (a targeted nerve treatment) for severe facial pain from trigeminal neuralgia. Both are minimally invasive procedures that may help when medications no longer control the pain.
This study measures nerve activity (electrical signals in nerves) in people who have trigeminal neuralgia and are getting a common facial pain procedure. It may help researchers better understand the condition and improve future treatments.
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (using heat to disable the pain nerve) for trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain. If your pain hasn't improved with medication, this trial may offer a more targeted way to relieve it.
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (pulsed and thermal) to see which works better for people with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe, stabbing facial pain. If you have had facial pain for at least six months that isn't controlled by medicine, this study may help you find relief.
