  ABSTRACT: Background: Severe pain is present in trigeminal neuralgia and may be devastating and debilitating.

Treated at outside institution with medical management. Intervention: Left gasserian ganglion pulsed radiofrequency with acupuncture and biofeedback by pain psychologist. Results: >50% pain relief for greater than 12 months with improved quality of life. Conclusions: Trigeminal neuralgia may be one of the most challenging disorders to treat in the field of pain management due to the refractory and prolonged course of pain.
