Trigeminal Neuralgia Recurrence After Balloon Compression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at why trigeminal neuralgia pain might come back after a balloon compression procedure. Researchers want to find out which factors raise the risk of recurrence, so they can better predict and prevent it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with primary trigeminal neuralgia by a doctor using standard guidelines.
- This would be your first time having a percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) procedure.
- You have complete medical records from before the procedure, including imaging and surgery details.
- You are able to have at least one follow-up visit after the procedure so doctors can check for any return of pain.

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 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 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 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 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 looks at face pain that may happen after a specific surgery for trigeminal neuralgia called microvascular decompression (MVD). Researchers want to understand how common this pain is and how it affects recovery in people with Type I trigeminal neuralgia.
