Objective: This paper aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the 3D printing puncture navigation template-guided percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation for V2 trigeminal neuralgia treatment.
Methods: A total of 52 patients with V2 trigeminal neuralgia were treated with radiofrequency thermocoagulation. A total of 32 patients were treated under the guidance of the 3D printing puncture navigation template (guide plate group), while 20 patients underwent puncture via pterygopalatine fossa routinely (routine treatment group). The puncture time, operation time, puncture success rate, and immediate postoperative pain were recorded. The degree of immediate postoperative pain was indicated by visual analogue scale (VAS). Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) classification criteria were used to evaluate the efficacy, and the postoperative complications were observed. All patients were followed up for 1 year.
Results: The two groups showed significant decrease in VAS after the operation (P<0.05). The puncture and operation times of the guide plate group were significantly lower than those of the routine treatment group (P<0.05). The difference in terms of the clinical effects and recurrence rate between the two groups was insignificant (P>0.05).
Conclusions: 3D printing puncture navigation template-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation may increase the operation success rate and reduce complication incidence. Therefore, this technique possesses clinical promotional value.

This study investigated the impact of multiple nerve block methods (local anesthesia, conventional radiofrequency thermocoagulation [CRF], and pulsed radiofrequency [PRF]) on thermoregulation. Focusing on hypothalamic function, the effects of local anesthesia, CRF, and PRF on central and peripheral temperatures were analyzed and compared. Our findings revealed that all three nerve block groups cause a decrease in central temperature, with the CRF group exhibiting the most pronounced effect.

Background: People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have a 20-fold higher risk of developing trigeminal neuralgia compared to the general population. Treating trigeminal neuralgia in these patients is particularly challenging due to reduced tolerance and increased side effects from medications. When no neurovascular conflict exist, percutaneous treatments are usually the first option after drug therapy.

Stereoelectroencephalographic thermocoagulation in FLNA-positive heterotopia: Is it an effective treatment?
Epilepsia

Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH) is a neuronal migration disorder often associated with drug-resistant epilepsy. The epileptogenic zone network (EZN) in PVNH is generally large, contraindicating surgery. Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) can be proposed to map the EZN and perform radiofrequency thermocoagulation (THC) with an efficacy rate of approximately 65%.

Objective: Since the recent development of stereotactic ablation surgery, which can provide good seizure outcomes without limitations in size or location, conventional classification systems have become unsuitable for surgical guidance. The present study aimed to evaluate the validity of a newly proposed classification system focusing on the attachment pattern.
Methods: This retrospective study investigated 218 patients with hypothalamic hamartomas who underwent MRI-guided stereotactic radiofrequency thermocoagulation and were followed for at least 1 year after their last surgery.
