The Effect of Percutaneous Balloon Compression of the Meniscus on Patients with Recurrent Trigeminal Neuralgia after Microvascular Decompression Surgery
Objective To explore the effect of percutaneous micro-balloon compression(PBC)of the ganglion in the treatment of recurrent neuralgia(TN)patients following microvascular decompression(MVD)surgery.Methods A study conducted on 98 patients with TN who underwent microvascular decompression surgery from June 2021 to August 2022.According to the different surgical modes,patients were assigned to reference group(n=49)and study group(n=49).MVD was applied in the reference group;PBC on the articular crescent was performed in the study group.The treatment outcomes,operation indicators,inflammatory factors and life quality were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rates in the study group were significantly higher than reference group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The operation time,hospital stays and postoperative pain duration in the study group were significantly shorter than reference group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There were no statistically differences in the quality of life scores between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After treatment,the levels of inflammatory factors in the study group were lower than those in the reference group(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the life quality scores between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).After 3 month and 12 month of treatment,the life quality scores in the study group were significantly higher than reference group.Conclusion Compared with simple microvascular decompression,the percutaneous micro-balloon compression has a more significant effect and is worth promoting for the treatment of recurrent TN patients after MVD surgery.
