During the trial period, 1 TG lead erosion was identified. History of trauma (facial\/head trauma and oral surgery) was the only predictor of a failed trial compared to pain of idiopathic etiology (odds ratio: 0.15; 95% CI: 0.03-0.66). Following permanent implantation, approximately 29.6% and 26.5% of patients were diagnosed with lead erosion and infection of the hardware, respectively. TG lead migrations occurred in 11.7% of the patients. The numeric rating scale score showed a statistically significant reduction of 2.49 (95% CI: 1.37-3.61;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a0.0001) at an average of 10.8 mo following permanent implantation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TG stimulation is a feasible neuromodulatory approach for the treatment of intractable facial pain.
