High Voltage Pulsed Radiofrequency Combined With Duloxetine on the Treatment of Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia.

The incidence of glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is low, but the pain of GPN is severe and seriously affects the patient's life. We report a case with GPN, who had pain relief after treatment with high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) combined with duloxetine. This case indicates that high-voltage PRF combined with duloxetine may be an effective approach for reducing pain in patients with GPN, and duloxetine may have a potential advantage for patients with evoked pain.
