Radiofrequency Ablation for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for trigeminal neuralgia is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to create a lesion on the trigeminal nerve, which can reduce or eliminate pain in individuals with trigeminal neuralgia.
During the procedure, a needle electrode is inserted through the cheek and into the trigeminal nerve. The electrode is then heated using radiofrequency energy to create a lesion on the nerve. This lesion can disrupt the pain signals that are being sent to the brain, which can provide relief for the individual's pain.
