When medications are no longer effective, interventional procedures such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be used. This retrospective study compares two different RFA techniques in patients with classical TN: (1) conventional thermal RFA applied to the Gasserian ganglion, and (2) pulsed RFA applied peripherally to the nerve branches.\n\nThe purpose of the study is to evaluate pain relief, patient satisfaction, and complication rates between these two commonly used techniques. A total of 60 patients aged 55-80 years, who were treated at the Mersin University Pain Clinic between January 2015 and June 2025, were included. The study uses clinical records and follow-up data to assess outcomes at 6 months post-procedure.\n\nThis study aims to provide clinicians with more evidence to guide the selection of safer and more effective treatments for trigeminal neuralgia, with the goal of improving patients' quality of life and reducing treatment-related side effects.",[81,82,83],"Trigeminal Neuralgia","Tic Douloureux","Neuropathic Facial Pain",[81,85,86,87,88],"Radiofrequency Ablation","Pulsed Radiofrequency","Gasserian Ganglion","Neuropathic Pain","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-06-02",{"date":92,"type":93},"2025-06-10","ACTUAL",{"date":95,"type":75},"2025-06-15",{"date":97,"type":75},"2025-07-30",{"name":60,"class":6},1]
