Аннотация

To study the quality of life in the pre-and postoperative period in patients with trigeminal neuralgia after microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve root. Material and methods: The results of observations of 408 patients with NTN before and after microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve root were analyzed in 2012-2018 undergoing treatment at the Republican Scientific Center of Neurosurgery. All patients were examined in a standard way: clinical examinations by specialists and X-ray examinations. Results: A comparative assessment of the quality of life and pain syndrome using the questionnaires we developed showed that the questionnaires correlate with each other, and the developed questionnaires are not inferior in sensitivity, reliability and validity to those used earlier. Conclusions: The use of the questionnaires developed by us for assessing pain syndrome and quality of life is an important tool for assessing the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with trigeminal neuralgia.
