A prospective cohort study on perioperative percutaneous balloon compression for trigeminal neuralgia: safety and efficacy analysis

In conclusion, this study has shown that PBC treatment is effective in managing TN in both males and females, regardless of whether the treatment was administered as a primary intervention or following prior surgical procedures such as PBC, MVD, or RFT. Nonetheless, it is noted that the risk of postoperative complications appears to be higher in female patients compared to male patients.
