This study tests whether electroacupuncture can effectively reduce pain in people with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition causing severe facial pain. The goal is to see if it can be a safer alternative to the standard drug carbamazepine, which can cause side effects like addiction…

This study compares two non-invasive laser treatments—high-intensity and low-level—for people with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition causing severe facial pain. About 38 adults who haven't found relief from medication or can't have surgery will receive one of the laser therapies.…

This study tests if a new type of pulsed radiofrequency (irregular STP) is safer and better at reducing severe facial pain from trigeminal neuralgia compared to the standard method. About 62 adults aged 18-75 who still have severe pain despite medication will receive one of the t…

This study looks at 700 adults with trigeminal neuralgia (a condition causing severe facial pain) who had a procedure called balloon compression. Researchers will use past medical records to build a computer model that predicts if the pain might come back. The goal is to find key…

This study follows 100 people who had microvascular decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe facial pain. Researchers want to know if dental treatments or other mouth stimulation after surgery make the pain more likely to return. Participants…

This study looks at how Gamma Knife radiosurgery affects brain connections in people with severe facial pain called trigeminal neuralgia. About 28 adults will get brain scans before treatment and at 1, 3, and 12 months after. The goal is to understand how the treatment works in t…
