Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

With the Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment (PRF) Of the Gasserian ganglion for tRigeminal nEuralgia: a retroSpective Study (PROGRESS) the objective is to document the outcome of PRF (Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment) for patients with TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia), unresponsive to conservative treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Primary objective:

To determine the proportion of patients in which PRF (pulsed radiofrequency) of the Gasserian ganglion for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) provides acute pain relief of at least 50% on the GPE (Global perceived effect) score (six weeks after treatment)

Secondary objectives:

\- To determine the duration during which PRF of the Gasserian ganglion for trigeminal neuralgia provides a reduction of at least 50% on the GPE (Grade Point Equivalent) score.
