Impact of Microvascular Decompression Under Microscope on Long-Term Efficacy and Pain Degree of Patients with Pri-mary Trigeminal Neuralgia
Objective To explore the impact of microvascular decompression under microscope on long-term efficacy and pain degree of patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia(PTN).Methods 72 patients with PTN were randomly divided into two groups.The reference group was treated with balloon compression,and the study group was treated with microvascular decompression under microscope.The long-term efficacy,pain degree and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The long-term total effective rate of the study group was 94.44%,significantly higher than 75.00%of the reference group(P<0.05).The VAS scores at 3 months and 6 months after surgery of the study group were significantly lower than those of the reference group(P<0.05).The total incidence of postoperative complications of the study group was 8.33%,significantly lower than 27.78%of the reference group(P<0.05).Conclusions Microvascular decompression under microscope in the treatment of PTN has significant long-term effect,which can obviously relieve the pain degree of patients,and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.
