Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a neuropathic pain that can be treated with microvascular decompression (MVD) or percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy (PRR) when medications fail. However, the cost-effectiveness of these interventions is uncertain, and it is unclear whether TN should be considered as a single entity for cost-effectiveness analysis. To address these issues, a prospective cohort study was conducted between 2017 and 2020, documenting Burchiel et al.’s clinical classification, pain-free survival, complications, and costs. Two models of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were calculated: pain-specific (PQALY) and pain-complication-specific (PCQALY), based on pain-free survival and complications data, followed by cost-effectiveness analysis. The study included 112 patients, of whom 70 underwent MVD and 42 underwent PRR. Our findings revealed that MVD was less cost-effective in the PCQALY model than PRR, but more cost-effective in the PQALY model and had an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) that met the World Health Organization cost-effectiveness threshold in both models. Further clinical classification analysis showed that MVD was only cost-effective in type 1 TN patients, with an ICER of 0.9 and 1.3 times the GDP/capita, based on PQALY and PCQALY, respectively, meeting the cost-effectiveness criteria. Conversely, MVD was economically dominated by PRR for type 2 TN patients based on PQALY. These findings indicate that PRR may be more cost-effective for type 2 TN patients, while MVD remains the cost-effective option for type 1 TN patients. Our study highlights the importance of clinical classification and complication in determining the cost-effectiveness of MVD and PRR for refractory TN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
