“…The findings of the current study highlight the significant pain reduction felt by TN patients. 11 Unfortunately, in our study there are difference in time range of pain measurement after microvascular decompression that may become a confounding variable in the pain scale of each patient. In this study, microvascular decompression showed a good outcome in treating TN, no matter how severe the facial pain and intractable with other therapy before microvascular decompression.…”

“…14 In line with this statement, a 2018 study showed that most trigeminal neuralgia is caused by the superior cerebellar artery, followed by the superior petrous vein, the basilar artery, and the arachnoid membrane. 11 In our study, no good records carried out so further research is needed to determine various factors causing good outcomes from microvascular decompression. Almost all studies say that there is a 0.1% chance of mortality and complications that may arise after surgery, this surgery must be performed by surgeons who are experienced in their field.…”

Background: Trigeminal Neuralgia is a common condition of facial pain and its significantly affect patients’ daily life. Microvascular decompression is one of the interventional pain management for trigeminal neuralgia. There is still a little data obtained on evaluation of facial pain after microvascular decompression in Indonesia. Objective: This research aimed to evaluate facial pain after microvascular decompression of trigeminal neuralgia patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, PHC Hospital, and Bangil General Hospital, Indonesia. Methods: The research design was a pretest-posttest with total sampling. Data were obtained from medical records from January 2018 until June 2019. Researches used Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) as pain measurement. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive statistical test, normality test, and paired t-test. Results: Trigeminal Neuralgia patients that has been treated with microvascular decompression have an average facial reduction from 7.33±2.29 to 1.89±3.41 with p = 0.001. This result showed that the microvascular decompression has significantly reduce facial pain in patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Conclusion: Microvascular decompression significantly reduce the facial pain of trigeminal neuralgia patients.

Cannulation of the foramen ovale is often performed for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Despite advances in resolution and visualization, fluoroscopy and computed tomography paired with navigation technology have proven unsuccessful in cannulating the foramen. Therefore, approaches to foramen ovale cannulation warrant improvement. This study applies a geometric model to analyze the region of a foramen occupied by a cylindrical surgical tool (e.g., a cannula, stylet, catheter, or needle) inserted at an angle (ϕ) to the plane of the foramen. As the tool passes through the plane of the foramen, its cross-section is an ellipse with a major axis depending on ϕ. Accordingly, the area of the region depends on ϕ, as well as on the radius of the surgical tool. Knowing the area of the region provides a means of comparing a candidate surgical instrument to the foramen it will cannulate when the area of the foramen is known (e.g., as determined from imaging). After accounting for irregularities in the boundary of the foramen, the angle of approach ϕ, and relative orientations of the foramen and the elliptical region occupied by the tool, the geometric model proceeds to describe two new regions: one which guarantees successful cannulation and one which guarantees the tool will not cannulate. The technique predicts when cannulation of a foramen will likely be impossible. Therefore, this method may prevent adverse surgical events and improve the surgical approach and outcomes in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
