Pain after trigeminal nerve surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how pain changes after a surgery called microvascular decompression for trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes sharp facial pain. It aims to better understand the outcomes of this procedure to help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 trigeminal neuralgia (brief, stabbing facial pain).
- You have had microvascular decompression surgery to treat this pain.
- This is the first time you're having this surgery.
- You do not have atypical facial pain (constant, burning pain).
- You are willing and able to give informed consent.

This study uses a special MRI scan to look at how the trigeminal nerve system is working in people with essential trigeminal neuralgia (face pain) and whether there is nerve involvement. You may be asked to get MRI scans while resting, which can help doctors better understand the cause and guide future treatments.
This study looks at surgery for people who might have a nerve being pressed by a blood vessel, called a neurovascular conflict. It aims to see who might benefit from surgery and how well the treatment works.
This study looks at why trigeminal neuralgia might come back after a procedure called balloon compression. If you join, your experience during and after treatment will help doctors better predict who might need extra care.
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.
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 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.
