Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of radiofrequency rhizotomy on brain activity in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN), focusing on pain processing before and after surgery.
- Patients underwent fMRI scans with specific tasks, revealing decreased brain activation in certain areas associated with pain before the surgery, which normalized afterward.
- Results indicated significant pain relief and increased motor activity post-intervention, suggesting that the procedure positively affects neural pain processing in TN patients.
