Overview
The aim of the registry is a multicenter, prospective long-term data collection of patients suspected neurovascular conflict and referred for possible microvascular decompression (Jannetta procedure). The registry relies exclusively on routinely collected clinical data, which are gathered in a standardized and privacy-compliant manner as part of everyday clinical practice. By systematically compiling this information across multiple centers, valuable insights into the effectiveness, potential side effects, and long-term outcomes of this surgical treatment can be gained. The registry will serve as a foundation for future scientific analyses and is intended to help answer relevant research questions regarding the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia based on solid evidence.
Primary outcome measures
- Pain relief after surgical treatment [Time frame: From enrolment to last follow-up 5 yrs after surgery]
- Face specific pain relief after surgical treatment [Time frame: From enrolment to last follow-up 5 yrs after surgery]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Surgical complications [Time frame: three months after index surgery]
- Need for additional treatment [Time frame: 5 years after index surgery]
- Patient satisfaction [Time frame: 5yrs after index surgery]
- Effect of surgical treatment on quality of life [Time frame: 5 years after index surgery]
