About

With the Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment (PRF) Of the Gasserian ganglion for tRigeminal nEuralgia: a retroSpective Study (PROGRESS) the objective is to document the outcome of PRF (Pulsed Radiofrequency treatment) for patients with TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia), unresponsive to conservative treatment.
