The treatment methods of trigeminal neuralgia mainly include drug treatment, gamma knife treatment, surgical treatment and radiofrequency treatment. Most patients with trigeminal neuralgia can first choose medication. At present, the first drug is carbamazepine, and the second drug is oxcarbazepine. The drug treatment effect of some patients is good and can be controlled for a long time. There are also some patients with poor drug treatment effect or serious complications, which usually need to consider surgical treatment. At present, surgical treatment is the only way to cure trigeminal neuralgia. The first choice of surgical treatment is microvascular decompression surgery, which is minimally invasive surgery with less trauma, less bleeding and low recurrence probability. For patients who are unwilling to undergo surgery, radio frequency treatment or gamma knife treatment can also be considered.
