Clinical Trial Summary

This is a study about the dynamics and effects of ultrasound guided maxillary nerve block in trigeminal neuralgia


Description:

Standard pharmacological treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is often insufficient. In this setting, patients often suffer trough everyday activities and quality of life is disturbed substantially. In this prospective clinical study, analgesic effect of ultrasound (US) guided maxillary nerve block will be investigated, in order to prolong pain-free time, reduce the use of standard analgesics, as well as atypical ones (e.g. antiepileptic drugs and antidepressants). Characteristics of US guided maxillary nerve block will pain investigated: reduction of pain (decrease of VAS score), duration of pain-free period, pain level during the procedure.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time without pain Patients will report to the investigator when pain starts to rise - and the amount of time form the procedure to the reporting will be recorded 26 weeks
Secondary Trend of pain level Pain will be graded according to visual analogue scale, 0 meaning no pain, 10 meaning the worse pain possible Pain level at three time points: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the procedure
Secondary Pain level when anesthesia is applied Pain will be graded according to visual analogue scale, 0 meaning no pain, 10 meaning the worse pain possible Immediately after the procedure
Secondary Time to sart of the action of the block Time from the procedure till the pain is reduced, in minutes Immediately after the procedure
