Application of Intraoperative Awake Anesthesia and Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Technique in Percutaneous Microballoon Compression for Trigeminal Neuralgia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: To examine the role of intraoperative awake anesthesia and the three-dimensional reconstruction technique in percutaneous microballoon compression (PBC) for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Methods: Seventy patients diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and admitted to Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital from 2019 to 2022 were selected for the study.All patients were treated with PBC by three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of preoperative and intraoperative images and intraoperative awake anesthesia. The duration of balloon compression during surgery was three minutes.After balloon compression during the procedure, the patient is awakened for effect assessment, allowing for real-time adjustments of the surgical strategy based on the evaluation.Postoperative pain relief was evaluated using the Brisman criteria. Results: Pain completely disappeared immediately post-operation in 68 patients, and was significantly alleviated in two patients, with an efficacy rate of 100% and a cure rate of 97.1%. 60 patients experienced facial numbness on the affected side postoperatively, which showed different degrees of remission or disappearance within 6-12 months after surgery. Eleven cases of herpes labialis (15.7%), one case of facial hematoma (1.4%), and three cases of postoperative psychiatric symptoms (4.3%) occurred, all of which recovered within 1-2 weeks after surgery. Weakness in the masticatory muscles on the affected side was observed in four patients (5.7%), and all cases returned to normal within six months post-surgery.During follow-up 36-60 months, there were five cases (7.1%) of pain recurrence on the affected side. Conclusion: Awake anesthesia combined with 3D reconstruction technology for PBC surgery may provide a safer and more effective alternative for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.
