Pain relief was immediate in 30 patients (90.9%), and no pain relief occurred in 3 patients (9.1%) following a second PRT procedure. The percentage of patients who remained in an \u2018excellent' and \u2018good' pain relief condition (pain intensity \u2264BIN grade III) after the second PRT procedure was 75% at 1 year, 68% at 2 years and 68% at 5 years, and 22 of these patients (54.5%) remained satisfied with their pain relief during the follow-up period. Nine patients underwent PRT three times and 1 patient four times. The total number of patients who benefited from repeated PRT was 28 (84.8%). Postprocedure complications including masseter weakness were present in 3 patients and limited mouth opening affected 1 patient. No mortalities were observed during or after repeated PRT procedures. <b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b> Repeated PRT provides long-term pain relief benefits to patients with recurrent TN and should be considered as an alternative treatment for recurrent TN.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000357868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,22]],"date-time":"2014-05-22T06:56:29Z","timestamp":1400741789000},"page":"54-59","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Repeated CT-Guided Percutaneous Radiofrequency Thermocoagulation for Recurrent Trigeminal Neuralgia"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"72","author":[{"given":"Yuan-Zhang","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Di","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuan-Ying","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guang-Hui","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jia-Xiang","family":"Ni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.wneu.2011.08.001"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1468-1331.2008.02185.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177%2F1756285609359317"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171%2Fjns.1974.40.2.0143"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.jocn.2011.07.053"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0360-3016%2800%2900513-7"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F00006123-200103000-00013"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171%2Fjns.1983.59.3.0479"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F02688697.2012.673650"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2044.1999.00905.x"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000303530"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1468-1331.2007.01916.x"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.pain.2013.06.004"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171%2Fjns.1995.83.6.0989"}],"container-title":["European Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/357868","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/357868","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/357868","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:32:47Z","timestamp":1745433167000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000357868"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1-2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,29]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000357868","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0014-3022","1421-9913"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0014-3022","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9913","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}}}
