PROCEDURE

Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF)

Participants will receive pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment targeting the trigeminal nerve to manage pain associated with trigeminal neuralgia. This non-ablative technique uses electrical pulses to modulate nerve function, aiming to provide pain relief without creating a thermal lesion.

PROCEDURE

Pulsed and Thermal Radiofrequency (PRF + TRF)

Participants will receive a combination of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) and thermal radiofrequency (TRF) treatments targeting the trigeminal nerve. This approach combines the non-ablative effects of PRF with the thermal lesioning of TRF to provide long-term pain relief for trigeminal neuralgia.
