During percutaneous microcompression of the gasserian ganglion for the relief of trigeminal neuralgia, a computerized technique for monitoring the pressure inside Meckel's cave was employed in 22 patients. A dedicated transducer connected to a computer records the balloon inflation pressure. Its variations are discernible within tenths of a bar and are plotted in relation to time. The intraoperative pressure inside Meckel's cave is from 0.9 to 2.4 bars. When pressure was low, there was recurrence of pain. The highest values of pressure (1.9-2.4 bars) were observed in most of the patients suffering from untoward side effects. The clinical results seem to be influenced by the level of the intraoperative intracavitary pressure.
在经皮微压迫半月神经节以缓解三叉神经痛的过程中，对22例患者采用了一种监测Meckel腔内部压力的计算机化技术。一个连接到计算机的专用传感器记录球囊充气压力。其变化在十分之一个巴内即可辨别，并相对于时间进行绘制。Meckel腔内的术中压力为0.9至2.4巴。当压力较低时，疼痛会复发。在大多数出现不良副作用的患者中观察到最高压力值（1.9 - 2.4巴）。临床结果似乎受术中腔内压力水平的影响。
