Clinical Efficacy of Combined Microvascular Decompression (Mvd) and Partial Sensory Rhizotomy (Psr) for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Abstract

Objective — To analyze the effect of microvascular decompression combined with partial sensory root resection in the clinical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods — A total of 54 patients with trigeminal neuralgia admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to June 2021 were selected as the research samples, and they were divided into the reference group (n=27) and the observation group (n=27) according to the random number table method. The reference group received microvascular decompression, while the observation group received partial sensory root resection and microvascular decompression. The treatment effect and complications of the two groups were observed, and the sleep quality and pain degree of the two groups before and after treatment were compared. Results — After treatment, the effective rate of the observation group was approximately the same as that of the reference group (P > 0.05), and the complication rate of the observation group was higher than that of the reference group, but there was no statistical difference (P > 0.05). In addition, there were no significant differences in VAS and PSQI scores between the two groups before and after treatment, and the data were similar (P > 0.05). Conclusion — For the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, microvascular decompression has a good effect, and the effect of partial sensory root resection is also good, which can be selected as appropriate.
