- Abstract
Objective: Radiofrequency thermocoagulation of Gasserian ganglion brings with it the difficult problem of how to provide adequate acesodyne therapy for patients in order to make the treatment more comfortable. In our study, we assess the safety and efficacy of lidocaine local anesthesia in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: From January, 2017 to December, 2020, 80 patients in our hospital who were suffering from trigeminal neuralgia were treated with radiofrequency thermocoagulation through oval foramen. They were all enrolled in our study and randomly divided into a study group and a placebo group. In the study group an appropriate concentration of lidocaine was given outside and inside of the oval foramen after puncturing in place, while in the placebo group the same dose of normal saline was given in the same way. We then recorded the mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and visual analogue scale (VAS) at different treatment temperatures. Results: The values of MAP and HR in the study group were generally lower than those in the placebo group, and the difference was statistically significant. Additionally, the two groups showed a significant difference in MAP, HR, and VAS at different treatment temperatures. There were significant differences in MAP and VAS between the study group at the baseline as well as each time point thereafter, and the range of MAP and HR in the study group were lower than those in the placebo group. Conclusion: Reasonable lidocaine local anesthesia can provide analgesic effects and prevent hypertension and arrhythmia during Gasserian ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
