1.	Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux) 05/01/2018 - "Microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve is the most effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. " 01/01/2018 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) has been confirmed as an effective treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TN); however, most previous reports just focused on MVD for TN caused by arterial conflict, there is a paucity of information about its use in venous compression causing TN. " 12/01/2017 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trigeminal nerve is the most effective treatment for trigeminal neuralgia (TN). " 10/01/2016 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) represents the most effective and safe surgical option for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia since it was first popularized by Jannetta 50 years ago. " 09/01/2013 - "Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) surgical treatment with microvascular decompression is highly effective and safe, but for a percentage of patients who undergo this procedure, no vascular compression is found. "
2.	Hemifacial Spasm 01/01/2021 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS). " 10/01/2019 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) is a useful treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS), but the postoperative course is extremely diverse. " 06/01/2019 - "Microvascular decompression surgery is the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS). " 12/01/2018 - "Microvascular decompression is the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasm. " 12/01/2017 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS). "
3.	Pain (Aches) 03/01/2013 - "The surgical procedures with the highest rates of pain relief for GPN are rhizotomy and microvascular decompression (MVD) of cranial nerves IX and X. Neurovascular conflict at the level of the root exit zone of these cranial nerves is believed to be the cause of this pain syndrome in most cases. " 12/01/2007 - "The pain resolved completely after a microvascular decompression via a retromastoid craniotomy. " 08/01/2011 - "In patients who underwent microvascular decompression (MVD), visual analog scores for pain showed significantly greater improvement postoperatively in those who had no preoperative autonomic symptoms than in those who reported autonomic symptoms. " 03/01/1991 - "In one case an atheromatous elongated basilar artery was observed compressing and deforming the medulla oblongata at the entry zone of nerves IX-X. In this case, pain paroxysms recurred some weeks after surgery, and the patient underwent re-operation (microvascular decompression of the medulla) with good outcome. " 03/01/2019 - "Pain control and complication rates are better than those reported by other ablative procedures and microvascular decompression; however, future studies should be focused on the long-term efficacy of GKRS."
4.	Glossopharyngeal Nerve Diseases (Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia) 11/01/2010 - "5. Trans-vertebralis dural ring approach TVDRA revealed to be useful in the treatment of microvascular decompression for glossopharyngeal neuralgia, because mobilization and displacement of the vertebral artery by circumferential incision from its dural ring plays an important role for the purpose (Fig. " 01/01/2015 - "We present a case of recurrent vago-glossopharyngeal neuralgia after previous surgery, treated successfully with microvascular decompression using intra-operative neurophysiology monitoring. " 01/01/1995 - "In 1977, Laha and Jannetta reported good results in four patients who underwent microvascular decompression of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves for glossopharyngeal neuralgia. " 12/15/2020 - "Microvascular decompression (MVD) and vagoglossopharyngeal rhizotomy (VGR) are effective treatment for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GN). " 01/01/2002 - "Microvascular decompression of the glossopharyngeal nerve is an effective treatment of patients with glossopharyngeal neuralgia in whom compression of the nerve by a blood vessel is implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease. "

" 10/01/1989 - "In each patient, neuralgia was successfully eliminated by microvascular decompression and by section of the upper rootlets of the vagus nerve. " 07/01/2011 - "Microvascular decompression may be an effective treatment for nervus intermedius neuralgia." 05/01/2011 - "To report microvascular decompression as a possible effective treatment for patients with nervus intermedius neuralgia, and to contribute to the literature regarding both this syndrome and this specific form of treatment. " 05/01/2011 - "Microvascular decompression may be an effective treatment for nervus intermedius neuralgia."
