A preliminary study of diffusion tensor imaging in root entry zone of primary trigeminal neuralgia

ConclusionQuantitative variables derived from DTI in REZ had significantly different profiles between PTN patients and HCs, which were associated with VAS situation and the disease course of PTN. The comprehensive index established on DTI variables were of great potential to reveal the microstructure changes in PTN patients and predict the therapeutic effect.
