Abstract：Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of multiple radiofrequency ablation therapy of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods 60 patients diagnoised as trigeminal neuralgia in our hospital were included from January 2014 to september 2014. The patients were randomly divided into two groups , 30 patients in treatment group and 30 patients in control group. Patients in treatment group were treated by multiple radiofrequency ablation therapy while patients in control group were treated by radiofrequency thermal coagulation therapy for trigeminal ganglion.Then comparing the curative effect of the two groups after the treatment. Results The VAS score showed insignificant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion The multiple radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is effective clinically as fewer complications and shows higher security.
