Pulsed Radiofrequency for Auriculotemporal Neuralgia: A Case Report

Neurology International
Auriculotemporal neuralgia is a rare facial pain disorder with no therapeutic evidence for refractory cases. We described a male patient with right auriculotemporal neuralgia, refractory to anesthetic nerve blocks and botulinum toxin type A injections ...

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Grading the intensity of nondental orofacial pain: Identification of cutoff points for mild, moderate, and severe pain [PDF]

, 2015
Background: When assessing pain in clinical practice, clinicians often label pain as mild, moderate, and severe. However, these categories are not distinctly defined, and are often used arbitrarily.

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Cluster-analytic classification of facial expressions using infrared measurements of facial thermal features [PDF]

In previous research, scientists were able to use transient facial thermal features extracted from Thermal Infra-Red Images (TIRIs) for making binary distinction between the affective states.

Orofacial pain disorder or trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia? Insights into pathophysiology and implications in medicine and dentistry

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
There are some headache disorders known as trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs). When these “headaches” are localized in the mid‐face region, they are known as “trigeminal autonomic orofacial pains” (TAOPs), and they can mimic other types of face pains including dental pain, which puts the patient at risk of receiving treatments that are incorrect.

Altered intra- and inter-network functional activity among migraine, chronic migraine, and trigeminal neuralgia

Molecular Pain
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the specific manifestations and differences in brain network activity and functional connectivity between brain networks in patients with trigeminal neuralgia and migraine, aiming to reveal the neural basis of ...

Scalp Dysesthesia: Emerging Pathophysiologic Insights and Therapeutic Implications

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Scalp dysesthesia is a chronic condition diagnosed through exclusion. This scoping review synthesized data from 59 patients to identify recurrent clinical features, comorbidities, and management strategies that may support earlier diagnosis. Emerging patterns suggest that neuronal sensitization may underlie common symptoms.

Cannabinoids in trigeminal neuralgia

Pathos, 2021
Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common craniofacial pain syndrome. This disorder causes severe facial pain and is described as very acute, similar to an electric shock to the jaw, eye region, teeth or gums.
