Patients underwent imaging\u2010guided partial RFA of the facial nerve (for blepharospasm) and\/or mandibular nerve (for oromandibular dystonia).

The Burke\u2013Fahn\u2013Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS) Movement subscores decreased significantly (e.g., from 9 to 0 in Case 1, and 14 to 0.5 in Case 2). Procedural sequelae, including mild facial paralysis and masticatory weakness, were transient and resolved within 3\u20136 months. One patient experienced symptom recurrence at 14 months, which was successfully managed via repeat RFA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Partial cranial nerve RFA is a feasible, effective, and repeatable salvage therapy for PMS following DBS failure. By targeting the peripheral conduction pathway, it offers a distinct mechanism of action and a practical alternative when central neuromodulation proves insufficient.
