ALIGARH April 7: The Department of Anaesthesiology, J.N. Medical College Hospital, Aligarh Muslim University organized a live workshop on the management of patients of trigeminal neuralgia with the latest radiofrequency technique.

The treatment options available for treating the pain of trigeminal neuralgia are neuropathic drugs like Carbamazepine, Gabapentin, Pregabalin, Baclofen etc. However these drugs provide pain relief for short duration only along with some serious side effects. Nerve blocks with neurolytic agents like phenol and alcohol provide relief for few months to year. The radiofrequency ablation of trigeminal nerve and its branches have become popular due to its long lasting pain relief with minimal side effects.

The workshop was attended by about 100 doctors from different specialties of J.N. Medical College Hospital and Sir Ziauddin Ahmed Dental College Hospital including private practitioners as well as delegates from outside Aligarh.
