Trigeminal neuralgia which is resistant to medical treatment, may be benefited from percutaneous procedures like glycerol, phenol, alcohol and radiofrequency (RF)
rhizolysis that damage the trigeminal nerve or the Gasserian ganglion so that peripheral stimuli no longer trigger an attack of trigeminal neuralgia13,14.
During the 18-month following-up period, no pain, mobility, sensitivity to percussion, abscess/fistula, restoration failure (such as partial fracture or loss of restoration), internal/external resorption, signs of furcal impairment, and advanced
rhizolysis stage were observed (Figures 2(a)-Figures 2(c) and 3).
Similarly, craniofacial pain syndromes, such as trigeminal neuralgia, are successfully treated by moving the pulsating artery that compresses the mandibular nerve in the cerebellopontine angle with microvascular decompression or, in the absence of an offending artery, performing a blockade of the trigeminal ganglion with balloon compression or glycerol
rhizolysis. [10,11]
X-rays showed granulomas with vertical bone reabsorption,
rhizolysis, and extensive exposure of molar furcation (Figure 1).
The teeth displayed complete
rhizolysis of the roots.
(12) Surgical intervention may include microvascular decompression, balloon compression,
rhizolysis or rhizotomies and radio-frequency thermocoagulation.
DENVER -- Two last-ditch surgical approaches--percutaneous radiofrequency trigeminal
rhizolysis and deep-brain electrode stimulation--proved highly effective for intractable, chronic duster headache in studies presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.

I'm not interested in drugs, having been told how effective the new
rhizolysis treatment can be.'
