Clinical Trial: Impact of Teflon Implantation Technique on Nervous Tissue and Recurrence Rates Following Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Study Status: COMPLETED
Recruit Status: COMPLETED
Condition: Trigeminal Neuralgia
Study Type: OBSERVATIONAL
Official Title: EFFECT OF TEFLON IMPLANT ON NERVE TISSUE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH RECURRENCES IN THE TREATMENT OF TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA BY MICROVASCULAR DECOMPRESSION, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE METHOD OF APPLICAT
Brief Summary:
The study aims to see if shredded Teflon placed away from the trigeminal nerve is equally effective in pain control in Trigeminal Neuralgia while minimizing the risks of pain recurrence due to granuloma formation when this material is placed immediately close to the nerve in a pledget form.
