Objective To explore the clinical curative effect and nursing measures of damaged skin and ganglion radiofrequency thermal condensation in the treatment of elderly primary trigeminal neuralgia.Methods 144 elderly patients with trigeminal neuralgia were randomly divided into observation group and control group,72 cases in each group.The control group was given percutaneous and ganglion radiofrequency thermal condensation damage to surgical treatment,the observation group was given in combination with the comprehensive nursing intervention.The clinical treatments of the two groups were observed.Results After the intervention,the anxiety self -assessment rating scale, depression self rating scale score of the observation group were (41.88 ±1.04)points,(44.19 ±2.15)points which of the control group after the intervention were (45.86 ±2.47)points,(51.08 ±3.97)points,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t =12.601,12.949,all P <0.05).In observation group,the length of hospital stay,visual analog pain score,nursing satisfaction score were (16.71 ±1.64)d,(1.48 ± 0.51)points,(94.58 ±2.43)points,which of the control group were (23.86 ±2.96)d,(3.26 ±1.14)points, (88.17 ±5.87)points,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t =17.928,12.093, 8.561,all P <0.05).The incidence rate of postoperative complications of the observation group was 5.56%,which of the control group was 16.67%,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 =4.500,P <0.05).Conclusion Damaged on percutaneous and ganglion radiofrequency thermal condensation in treatment of elderly patients of primary trigeminal neuralgia with comprehensive nursing intervention can effectively relieve psycho-logical negative emotions,shorten hospitalization time,the patients'pain score,reduce the postoperative complications, it is worthy of popularization and application in clinic.
