An individualized rs-fMRI approach was applied to screen for recurrence-related brain regions in patients undergoing RFT. Among these, regions with a 100% recurrence rate were classified as high-risk recurrence regions. Treatment outcomes and changes in these differential brain regions were observed postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty TN patients exhibited 19 differential brain regions. Four of these\u2014Rolandic_Oper_L, Cerebellum_9_L, Lingual_R, and Calcarine_L\u2014were newly identified as abnormal regions in TN. Among the 15 patients who underwent RFT, 15 potential recurrence-related regions were found. Six of these\u2014contralateral Insula_L, Fusiform_L, Vermis_3, and Temporal_Sup_L; ipsilateral Cerebellum_3_R; and ipsilateral Fusiform_R (when involving V1 division pain)\u2014were identified as high-risk recurrence regions. Follow-up scans confirmed that these recurrence-related differential brain regions were either eliminated or attenuated after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with trigeminal neuralgia exhibit abnormalities in multiple brain regions. These findings demonstrate that individualized functional imaging biomarkers provide an effective framework for stratifying the risk of early postoperative recurrence. Specifically, abnormalities in the Insula_L, Fusiform_L, Cerebellum_3_R, Temporal_Sup_L, Vermis_3, and Fusiform_R can be defined as high-risk brain regions for predicting short-term recurrence after
