经皮球囊压迫与射频热凝半月神经节治疗老年人原发性三叉神经痛的疗效比较

目的 探讨经皮球囊压迫与射频热凝半月神经节治疗老年人原发性三叉神经痛的疗效.方法 选择原发性三叉神经痛老年患者87例,按治疗方法不同分为两组,经皮球囊压迫半月神经节治疗(球囊压迫组)42例,经皮射频热凝半月神经节治疗(射频热凝组)45例,对两种方法疗效进行分析评价.结果 (1)球囊压迫组和射频热凝组早期有效率分别为92.9%(39/42)和95.6%(43/45),治愈率分别为88.1%(37/42)和88.9%(40/45),两组比较差异无统计学意义(χ2分别为0.292、0.198,均P＞0.05);(2)出现三叉神经抑制反应球囊压迫组69.0%(29/42),多于射频热凝组35.6%(16/45)(χ2=9.759,P＜0.05),其中球囊压迫组1例患者出现心搏骤停;(3)术后两组均有不同程度的颜面部麻木及感觉障碍,球囊压迫组有效39例三支支配区均有麻木;射频热凝组有效43例主要为患支支配区麻木,选择性较高;球囊压迫组咀嚼肌无力的发生率(71.8%)高于射频热凝术组(20.9%),差异有统计学意义(χ2=5.106,P＜0.05); (4)术后随访6个月,两组均无复发病例.结论 经皮球囊压迫和经皮射频热凝术治疗老年人原发性三叉神经痛,都具有微创、高效的优点.经皮球囊压迫在全身麻醉下进行,无需患者配合,具有较高的舒适性,对于无法合作的患者较为合适;而经皮射频热凝术对三叉神经毁损的选择性更强,三叉神经抑制反应较轻,并且对咀嚼肌功能影响较小.

Abstract：

Objective To compare the effect of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) versus percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation treatment (PRFT) on idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia in elderly patients. Methods The 87 patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia were enrolled, 42 patients were treated by PBC (PBC group), and the other 45 patients were treated by PRFT (PRFT group). The effects of two therapies were evaluated after treatment. Results The early response rate (92.9% vs. 95.6%) and cure rate (88.1% vs. 88.9%) of PBC group versus PRFT group had no significant differences (both P＞0.05). The inhibitory response rate of trigeminal nerve was significantly greater in PBC group than in PRFT group after treatment (69.0% vs. 35.6%, P＜0.05), and 1 patient had cardiac arrest in PBC group. The two groups had different degrees of facial numbness and sensory dysfunction. The 39 patients treated by PBC had numbness in three divisions of trigeminal nerve, while 43 patients treated by PRFT had the high selection and showed the main numbness in the ill division of trigeminal nerve. The chewing gravis rate was higher in PBC group than in PRFT group (71.8% vs. 20.9%, P＜0.05). There was no neuralgia recurrence in both groups during 6 monthe′ follow-up. Conclusions The effect of treating the elderly patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia is similar by PBC and PRFT. The PBC therapy under general anesthesia is more convenient for patients who can not cooperate.The PRFT has much higher selectivity in trigeminal nerve damage, lower inhibition rate of the trigeminal nerve, and less influence on the masticatory muscle function.
