U.S., March 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06863324) titled 'Impact of Individual Radiosensitivity on Late Toxicities of Radiosurgery in Essential Trigeminal Neuralgia' on March 03.
Brief Summary: Trigeminal neuralgia is intense, electric-shock-like facial pain, most often triggered by touch, chewing or speech. It results from dysfunction of the trigeminal nerve, the 5th cranial nerve. In most cases, no cause is found, and trigeminal neuralgia is termed "essential". In the first instance, treatment is based on medication. In cases of drug resistance, radiosurgery is a possible treatment option. This involves performing neurolysis, delivering a very high dose of ionizing radiation to the trige...
