Evidence of descending inhibition deficits in atypical but not classical trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
, 2009 : Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a rare neuropathic facial pain disorder. Two forms of TN, classical TN (CTN) and atypical TN (ATN), are reported and probably have different aetiologies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the functional integrity

Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression for Trigeminal Neuralgia [PDF]
, 2015 Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic, progressive facial pain disorder characterized by severe paroxysmal episodes in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. The most common cause of (TN) is compression of the trigeminal nerve by a vascular structure

5-Hydroxytryptamine and postoperative nausea and vomiting after microvascular decompression surgery
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2023 The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after microvascular decompression (MVD) surgery is high; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels are elevated in patients with PONV. However, the relationship between 5-HT and patients experiencing PONV after MVD surgery is still unknown ...
