Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia by percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy.

Abstract
Percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy (PSR) is recognized as a simple, effective, and safe surgical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Rates of pain recurrence after PSR are the lowest versus those of other percutaneous procedures, and similar to those of microvascular decompression.
