Non-neuralgic trigeminal neuropathic pain can be challenging in terms of treatment as pharmacological interventions often tend to be ineffective. Within the pain-transmitting pathway, the Gasserian ganglion (GG) is a rather unique anatomical and physiological structure where the sensory (including pain) information from the entire half of the face undergoes primary processing in a very compact and clearly defined entity. Moreover, GG is positioned in a completely immobile intradural location (the Meckel's cave) and is insulated from the brain by a layer of dura. As a confluence of all three trigeminal branches, GG allows one to achieve clinical effect on the entire half of the face with a relatively small surgical intervention while maintaining an ability to select exact facial regions based on known somatotopic organization of nerve fibers. Therefore, when it comes to electrical neuromodulation, the GG stimulation (GGS) may be a unique solution for treatment of medically refractory facial pain. GGS was introduced in 1970s and continues to be a recognized surgical modality with multiple published clinical series describing multi-year experience in hundreds of facial pain patients. GGS is particularly useful in treatment of patients with chronic trigeminal neuropathic pain and persistent idiopathic facial pain who tried and failed or were not considered good candidates for the conventional surgical interventions. With advances in lead technology, intraoperative visualization and stereotactic navigation, percutaneous GGS became a minimally invasive surgical intervention that is recommended for consideration in complex facial pain. Here, we review the clinical data and summarize the current state of GGS in facial pain treatment.
