In rare instances, the extremely painful disorder trigeminal neuralgia (TN) may develop as a result of multiple sclerosis (MS). In this article, we will be discussing the case of a 56-year-old female with TN. Antidepressants and analgesics can lessen the pain, although they were not very effective, and higher doses led to greater drowsiness and a poorer quality of life. Radiofrequency ablation helped this patient significantly lower the pain and led to an improved lifestyle. This case presents right-side radiofrequency ablation of Gasserian ganglion in a patient with unilateral TN with MS.
在极少数情况下,极为疼痛的三叉神经痛(TN)可能是由多发性硬化症(MS)引发的。在本文中,我们将探讨一位患有三叉神经痛的56岁女性病例。抗抑郁药和镇痛药虽能减轻疼痛,但效果不佳,且高剂量会导致更严重的嗜睡和生活质量下降。射频消融术显著减轻了该患者的疼痛,改善了其生活方式。本病例展示了对一名患有单侧三叉神经痛合并多发性硬化症患者进行右侧半月神经节射频消融术的情况。
