Comparing two methods of nerve treatment for facial pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia for at least 6 months

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 compares two treatments (bipolar vs monopolar pulsed radiofrequency) for people with trigeminal neuralgia that hasn't improved with medication. It aims to see which method provides better pain relief.
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 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 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 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.
