What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?
In Western countries, MVD surgery for trigeminal neuralgia can cost between $40,000 and $80,000, while percutaneous balloon compression ranges from $15,000 to $30,000. In China, the same procedures typically cost $8,000–$15,000 for MVD and $5,000–$8,000 for balloon compression, including hospital stay and surgeon fees. These prices are estimates and may vary by hospital and complexity of the case.
