Abstract:
Objective To compare the early therapeutic effects of gentamycin combined with ropivacaine and triamcinolone on trigminal neuralgia.Methods Ninety patients with trigeminal neuralgia were randomly divided into the ropivacaine group and triamcinolone group.The received nerve block peripherally was performed with gentamycin combined with ropivacaine(in the ropivacaine group)or triamcinolone(in the triamcinolone group)respectively.The parameters included pain intensity before and 1 d,3 d,1 week,2 weeks,1 month,2 months and 3 months after treatment,pain relief rate and dosage of carbamazepine of two groups were compared.Results The pain intensity in all the groups decreased at each time point.The value of numeric rating scale(NRS)in the ropivacaine group was significantly less than that in the triamcinolone group at 1 d,1 month,2 months and 3 months.Conclusion Gentamycin combined with ropivacaine is more suitable for trigeminal neuralgia than triamcinolone.
