 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Radiofrequency thermocoagulation of trigeminal neuralgia treatment for body care [Keywords:] trigeminal neuralgia, radiofrequency thermocoagulation treatment, care Trigeminal neuralgia is a common a disease is located within the trigeminal nerve distribution area of #8203;#8203;a severe paroxysmal pain disorders. Radiofrequency thermocoagulation for trigeminal neuralgia is an international advanced method of one of its primary mechanism is through radio frequency heating of the trigeminal nerve sensory root of the pain fiber degeneration and pain coagulation, recognized as a simple, reliable, safe, effective, less painful a good way. our department from January 2007 to January 2008 RF thermocoagulation in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia patients with a total of 187 cases, treatment is satisfactory. Nursing now reported as follows. 1 Clinical data 1.1 General information on 187 cases of this group of patients, 52 males, female 135 cases, aged 29 to 84 years, mean age 63.4 years, 117 cases of the right, left 70 cases.
