Masseter muscle thickness in gasser ganglion radiofrequency treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial studies how radiofrequency treatment for facial pain affects the thickness of your chewing muscle. It may help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had facial pain that did not get better with medicine for at least 3 months
- You are scheduled to have a type of treatment called radiofrequency of the gasser ganglion
- You agree to have an ultrasound of your face before and after the procedure
- You do not have a bleeding disorder
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have an active infection in the area or throughout your body

This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (a procedure that uses heat to calm the nerve) for people with trigeminal neuralgia whose pain hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method works better and lasts longer.
This study compares two types of pulsed radiofrequency treatment for severe trigeminal neuralgia (a type of facial pain) that hasn't been helped enough by medication. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for relieving 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 trial tests two image-guided procedures to treat severe facial pain from trigeminal neuralgia. It compares using a CT scan versus an X-ray video to guide a needle that heats the nerve to stop pain signals.
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.
This study uses MRI scans to see how brain connections change after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia. It may help understand why the treatment works and who benefits most.
