However, it has serious limitations in patients with a cardiac pacemaker because of electromagnetic interference. Therefore, it is crucial to select optimal radiofrequency ablation parameters to make this procedure safe with favorable outcomes for such patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, the authors present a case of a 70-year-old man with a history of cardiac pacemaker dependency and previous microvascular decompression with complaints of severe, constant facial pain. After reprogramming the cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED), the authors performed bipolar, high-voltage, long-duration pulsed radiofrequency therapy (PRFT) of the Gasserian ganglion under electrocardiography and pulse rate control in the pre-, intra-, and postoperative periods. There were no cardiovascular or neurological complications after PRFT. The patient reported relief of pain after the procedure, and at the 9-month follow-up, he was pain-free.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This clinical case demonstrates that the use of bipolar, high-voltage PRFT for TN treatment in patients with a CIED can be safe and effective, provided that the rules and pacemaker instructions are followed.
