Glycerol injection into the trigeminal ganglion provokes a selective increase in human cerebral blood flow

Fourteen patients suffering from idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (refractory to medication) were treated by injection of glycerol into the trigeminal ganglion. The changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) after glycerol injection were quantified by intravenous 133Xe emission tomography. There was a sign...
