Auriculotemporal neuralgia is a rare facial pain disorder with no therapeutic evidence for refractory cases. We described a male patient with right auriculotemporal neuralgia, refractory to anesthetic nerve blocks and botulinum toxin type A injections, who was successfully treated with pulsed radiofrequency without adverse events. Pulsed radiofrequency may be an effective and safe treatment for refractory auriculotemporal neuralgia.
耳颞神经痛是一种罕见的面部疼痛疾病，对于难治性病例尚无治疗依据。我们描述了一名患有右耳颞神经痛的男性患者，其对麻醉神经阻滞和A型肉毒杆菌毒素注射治疗无效，而经脉冲射频治疗后获得成功，且无不良事件发生。脉冲射频可能是治疗难治性耳颞神经痛的一种有效且安全的方法。
