Official Title: Trigeminal Evoked Responses to Improve Rhizotomy
Brief Summary:
Trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) is a debilitating pain syndrome where electrical, shock- like jolts of pain affect the face.Trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEPs) provide a promising modality for measuring the trigeminal sensory and nociceptive pathway by using peripheral stimulation of the trigeminal nerve (on the skin) and measuring low latency evoked potentials on the scalp (contralateral sensory cortex).While TSEPs have been measured in the past, it is not clear if implementing TSEPs into a routine…
