He was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia due to multiple sclerosis. Due to severe side effects, it was difficult to achieve adequate pain control with medication alone. By performing low-temperature radiofrequency thermocoagulation and pulsed radiofrequency of the Gasserian ganglion while monitoring masseter muscle contraction, a satisfactory and rapid analgesic effect was obtained without masticatory atonia.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of bilateral trigeminal neuralgia due to multiple sclerosis in which low-temperature radiofrequency thermocoagulation combined with pulsed radiofrequency was successfully performed for pain relief without masticatory atonia.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40981-025-00764-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]],"date-time":"2025-01-13T13:28:00Z","timestamp":1736774880000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A combination of low-temperature radiofrequency thermocoagulation and pulsed radiofrequency of the bilateral Gasserian ganglion for bilateral trigeminal neuralgia due to multiple sclerosis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0720-6859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihoko","family":"Tamura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masayuki","family":"Nakagawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoichiro","family":"Abe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"764_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"186","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2008.12.026","volume":"143","author":"G Cruccu","year":"2009","unstructured":"Cruccu G, Biasiotta A, Di Rezze S, Fiorelli M, Galeotti F, Innocenti P, et al.
