An observational study in Trigeminal Neuralgia, Facial Pain and Postherpetic Neuralgia, sponsored by Seoul National University. Recruiting at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-08-04.
Sponsored by Seoul National University · Observational
The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of intravascular injection during trigeminal nerve blocks.
The patients who already scheduled for trigeminal nerve blocks will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to tuohy needle group or quincke needle group after being informed about the study.
140 studies on the registry are indexed under Trigeminal Neuralgia; 44 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 200 is above the median of 84 across 38 observational studies indexed under Trigeminal Neuralgia.
