- Abstract: Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of microsurgical vascular decompression(MVD)under complete neuroendoscopy combined with nerve combing surgery in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia(TN),and its impacts on prognosis.Methods 108 primary TN patients from November 2021 to November 2023 were retrospectively selected and grouped into combined group and control group based on the surgical plan,with 54 cases in each group.The control group received MVD treatment under the microscope,while the combined group received complete neuroendoscopic MVD combined with nerve combing surgery.The total effective rate,pain degree,stress indicators,quality of life,and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the combined group(96.30%)was greatly higher than that of the control group(83.33%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of both groups after surgery were significantly lower than those before surgery,and the combined group was lower than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).After surgery,the levels of norepinephrine(NE),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and cortisol(Cor)increased in both groups compared with those before surgery,but the combined group was greatly lower than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The generic quality of life inventory-74(GQOL-74)scores in both groups after surgery were significantly higher than those before surgery,and the combined group was higher than the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no difference of the total complication rate between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion MVD under complete neuroendoscopy combined with nerve combing surgery in the treatment of primary TN,can relieve pain,reduce stress response and improve the quality of life of patients.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
