Title: Clinical Efficacy of Peripheral Branch of Trigeminal Nerve Block and Stellate Ganglion Block for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Abstract: Objective To apply peripheral branch of trigeminal nerve block and stellate ganglion block in trigeminal neuralgia and discuss effective conservation ways for TN. Methods Retrospective analysis of 32 cases with trigeminal neuralgia from June 2001 to June 2006, blocked majus of jaw in combination with MgSO4, VitaminB12 and triamcinolone acetonide, and blocked stellate ganglion in combination with 2% lidocaine hydrochloride injection, VitaminB12, triamcinolone acetonide and dexamethasone every 5 days, it was continuously 4 times. Assess the pain with visual analogue scale(VAS). To mensurate the data around treatment, and follow up treatment after 3months, 6months and 12months with telephone. Results 32 patients were all analyzed statistically. VAS = 9.6±1.2(before treatment); VAS = 1.59±0.83(after 3months); VAS = 2.00±1.20(after 6months); VAS = 2.50±1.31(after 12months). Total effective rate was 93.75%(3months), 84.33%(6months) and 78.13%(12months). Conclusion The therapeutic method is an effective, safe and simple method in the treatment of TN, and decreases complication.
