摘要
Background: A more secure and efficacious therapy than has been developed so far is imperative for patients suffering from recurrent trigeminal neuralgia (TN). Despite numerous reports on the use of enhanced percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) techniques, such as altering compression duration and balloon pressure, none have yielded satisfactory outcomes. With these issues in mind, we have employed the PBC double-compression technique for the first time. This technique involves initially inflating a balloon to expand the adhesive tissue in Meckel's lumen, followed by emptying of the contrast medium and subsequent slight catheter adjustment for further compression. The total duration of compression remains unchanged and may even be shortened. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the clinical effectiveness of the PBC double -compression technique in patients with recurrent TN and to analyze the technique's efficacy, subsequent duration of patients' facial numbness, and other complications. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: A single-center study. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 125 patients with postoperative recurrent TN who underwent double compression of the PBC and 65 patients who underwent single compression of the PBC between August 2017 and April 2022. The Barrow Neurological Institute Pain Intensity (BNI-P) score was utilized to quantify the severity of pain, while the Barrow Neurological Institute Facial Numbness (BNI-N) score was employed to separately evaluate the extent of postoperative pain relief and facial numbness. Results: The BNI-P and BNI-N scores before and after PBC treatment are presented herein. At T0, there was no significant difference in the BNI-P scores between the single-compression group and the double-compression group; however, at T1-T4, the BNI-P scores of the double-compression group were lower than those of the single-compression group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in BNI-P scores between the 2 groups at T5. At T1-T4, the BNI-N score of the double-compression group was significantly lower than that of the single-compression group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in BNI-N score between the double and single compression groups at T5. In the single-compression group, one patient (1.5%) experienced insignificant pain relief on postoperative day one, while 2 patients (3.1%) suffered from pain recurrence during the 1-4-year follow-up period. Similarly, in the double-compression group, one patient (0.8%) had inadequate pain relief on postoperative day one, and 3 patients (2.4%) experienced pain recurrence during the same follow-up period. The remaining patients did not require further surgical intervention but continued to rely on regular oral analgesia. In the single-compression group, masticatory muscle weakness was observed in 50 cases (76.9%), while in the double-compression group, it was observed in 92 cases (73.6%). Perioral herpes affected 4 patients (7.1%) and 6 patients (4.8%) in the single -and double-compression groups, respectively. Facial hematoma occurred in 7 cases (10.8%) and 13 cases (10.4%) of the single-and double-compression groups, respectively; each group included one patient suffered who from diplopia. Notably, none of the patients in this study reported any instances of corneal anesthesia, anesthesia pain, aseptic meningitis, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, carotid-cavernous fistula, or mortality. Limitations: This was a single-center retrospective study with a small sample size and relatively short follow-up time. Therefore, further evaluation of the long-term efficacy of PBC for postoperative recurrent TN is needed from multiple centers with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods. Conclusions: The double PBC method boasts a high cure rate, a low recurrence rate, and minimal complications, rendering the option appropriate for patients with recurrent TN and thus deserving of clinical promotion.
