A Study of Patient Reported Outcomes After Stereotactic Radiosurgical Rhizotomy for Trigeminal Neuralgia
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01364285,17516,21530
Purpose
The investigators know little about how patients feel following radiosurgery treatment of
trigeminal neuralgia. Patient satisfaction may ultimately be one of the most important
outcome measures for an individual patient; however, this has not been adequately assessed or
followed. Multiple questions remain unanswered, including whether there is a correlation
between patient satisfaction, the level of their current pain score, and the presence and
degree of facial numbness, a possible side effect after radiosurgery. Therefore, the goal of
this study is to gather this information from the patients who received radiosurgery for
trigeminal neuralgia at Stanford and evaluate post-treatment patient satisfaction, the degree
of facial numbness, and current pain score. This data will help the investigators understand
outcomes that are important for patient satisfaction following treatment of a chronic pain
syndrome.
