Alteration of the cortical morphology in classical trigeminal neuralgia: voxel-, deformation-, and surface-based analysis

Abstract

Highlights (1) We first applied the three methods (VBM, DBM, and SBM) to the brain structure study in CTN and found that the three methods were complementary. (2) Some of the different brain regions correlated with clinical parameters, TGNcV, and CSA of the compression point.
