[Methods of impact on peripheral branches of the trigeminus in its neuralgia].

Under study there were the nearest and long-term results of surgical treatment of 618 patients with neuralgia of trigeminus who were subjected to different methods of impact on its peripheral branches after complex clinical-radial examination. Of substantial significance in examination of the patients proved to be spiral computed tomography of the facial skeleton. Laser destruction of the trigeminus peripheral branches was not practically accompanied by a local reaction and provided longer remission. However, spirit-procaine blockades as an emergency care for rapid relief of strong painful syndrome still remain to be of great importance.
