Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and the risk factors of postoperative recurrence.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 200 TN patients admitted to Hebei General Hospital from February 2018 to February 2019. According to different treatment methods, the patients were divided into operation group ( n=150) and conservative group ( n=50). The operation group received PBC treatment, and the conservative group received conservative treatment. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was recorded, including total effective rate, VAS, quality of life score (physical function, health status, social function, mental health). Patients treated with PBC were followed up for 4 years, and were divided into relapse group ( n=23) and non-recurrence group ( n=127) according to postoperative recurrence. The baseline data and laboratory indexes of the two groups were recorded, including fasting blood glucose, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for comparison between groups. Chi-square test was used for comparison between count data groups. The factors related to postoperative recurrence of TN patients were first analyzed by univariate analysis, and then by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was constructed to predict postoperative recurrence, and its prediction efficiency was evaluated. The model was stratified by X-tile software to discuss its clinical application value. Results:The total effective rate, VAS of the operation group were 94.00%, 2.14±0.57, the conservative group were 78.00%, 3.87±1.16, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P< 0.05). The scores of physical function, health status, social function and mental health of quality of life in the operation group after treatment were 89.75±4.67, 90.36±5.68, 87.68±4.16, 88.79±5.09, the conservative group were 82.54±4.03, 84.67±4.28, 81.45±4.09, 80.69±4.89, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P< 0.05). Of 150 patients treated with PBC, 23 (15.33%) relapsed. Hypertension( OR=2.537, 95% CI: 1.069-6.019), diabetes( OR=5.179, 95% CI: 1.492-17.970), hyperlipidemia( OR=2.447, 95% CI: 1.227-4.883), CRP≥6.62 mg/L( OR=6.386, 95% CI: 1.738-9.854), IL-6≥19.55 ng/L( OR=8.028, 95% CI: 1.279-12.214), procalcitonin ≥1.13 ng/mL ( OR=7.615, 95% CI: 5.020-14.559), TNF-α≥4.56 ng/L( OR=6.226, 95% CI: 4.950-13.337) were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence of PBC ( P<0.05). Based on the nomogram constructed by the above 7 risk factors, the decision curve showed that the net benefit rate was greater than 0 when the threshold probability was between 0.01 and 0.91. The X-tile software was used to divide the model into three levels of low (>21.6), medium (13.8-21.6) and high (<13.8) risk according to the Logistic risk score, and the postoperative recurrence probability of PBC was 10.87%, 20.74% and 64.04%, respectively. The recurrence rate of PBC in the high-risk group was significantly higher than that in the medium-risk group and the low-risk group ( χ2=5.136, P=0.015). Conclusions:Percutaneous balloon compression of trigeminal nerve in the treatment of patients with trigeminal neuralgia has the advantages of high total effective rate, fewer postoperative complications, good clinical efficacy, quick effect and so on. The construction of percutaneous balloon compression of trigeminal nerve in patients with trigeminal neuralgia postoperative recurrence risk prediction model to provide reference for clinical improvement of patient rehabilitation.
