Abstract
Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized as debilitating paroxysmal facial pain distributed amongst one or more of the three branches of the trigeminal nerve. Medical and surgical interventions exist that can provide symptomatic relief. The most common surgical options are microvascular decompression (MVD) and gamma knife surgery (GKS). Currently, there is no definitive consensus as to which of the two options is more effective at providing immediate and long-lasting pain relief. This study seeks to better evaluate the differences between these two options in terms of rates of complete pain relief and pain free recurrence.
