Why face pain returns after balloon compression treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
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 (classic face pain, not caused by something else).
- This would be your first time having balloon compression treatment for this condition.
- Your doctors have your full medical history, imaging, and surgery records before the study.
- You will be able to come for at least one check-up after treatment so we know how you're doing.

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 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.
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.
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.
