Predicting pain relief: Use of pre-surgical trigeminal nerve diffusion metrics in trigeminal neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic neuropathic facial pain disorder that commonly responds to surgery. A proportion of patients, however, do not benefit and suffer ongoing pain. There are currently no imaging tools that permit the prediction of treatment response. To address this paucity, we use...
