RESUMEN

Classical trigeminal neuralgia (CTN) refers to episodic pain that is strictly confined to the trigeminal distribution area, and the thalamus is an important component of the trigeminal sensory pathway. Probabilistic tracking imaging algorithm was used to identify specific connections between the thalamus and the cortex, in order to identify structural changes in the thalamus of patients with CTN and perform thalamic segmentation. A total of 32 patients with CTN and 32 healthy controls underwent DTI-MRI scanning (3.0 T). Differences in fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD) and mean diffusivity (MD) between the groups were studied. Correlation analysis was performed with clinical course and pain level. Compared to the healthy controls, patients in the CTN group had significantly reduced FA, increased AD, RD and MD in somatosensory subregion of the bilateral thalamus, increased RD in frontal subregion, increased RD and MD in motor subregion. Correlation analysis showed that patient history was positively correlated with pain grading, and that medical history was positively correlated with significantly reduced FA in somatosensory subregion, negatively correlated with increased RD and MD in motor subregion. We used DTI-based probabilistic fiber tracking to discover altered structural connectivity between the thalamus and cerebral cortex in patients with CTN and to obtain a thalamic segmentation atlas, which will help to further understand the pathophysiology of CTN and serve as a future reference for thalamic deep brain stimulation electrode implantation for the treatment of intractable pain.
