Letter to the editor: The long-term outcome of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of the peripheral branches of the trigeminal nerve in trigeminal neuralgia.

This letter to the editor discusses a recent paper on the long-term outcome of CT-guided radiofrequency ablation as a treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. The authors commend the comprehensive design of the study but note that the discussion of comorbidities was somewhat neglected. They emphasize the importance of considering conditions like diabetes and hypertension, which are often associated with trigeminal neuralgia. The authors also suggest comparing the results of radiofrequency ablation with other existing interventions and identifying cases of drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia. They hope that future research will consider these aspects to enhance patient care in this area. [Extracted from the article]
