ioCT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for trigeminal neuralgia: how I do it.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:We used an assembly of electrodes C3 and C4-Cz in order to activate the motor cortical area of the corticobulbar tract to elucidate the motor-evoked potential of the contralateral mentalis muscle. METHOD:We compared this setup to that of an assembly with electrodes C5 or C6-Cz using a train of electrical pul...
