Comparative analysis of Hmx expression and the distribution of neuronal somata in the trigeminal ganglion in lamprey and shark: insights into the homology of the trigeminal nerve branches and the evolutionary origin of the vertebrate jaw [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2023 The evolutionary origin of the jaw remains one of the most enigmatic events in vertebrate evolution. The trigeminal nerve is a key component for understanding jaw evolution, as it plays a crucial role as a sensorimotor interface for the effective ...

Microstructural changes in the trigeminal nerve of patients with episodic migraine assessed using magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2020 Background There is histological evidence of microstructural changes in the zygomaticotemporal branch of the trigeminal nerve in migraineurs. This raises the possibility that altered trigeminal nerve properties contribute to migraine pathophysiology ...

Trigeminal Nerve Control of Cerebral Blood Flow: A Brief Review
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 The trigeminal nerve, the fifth cranial nerve, is known to innervate much of the cerebral arterial vasculature and significantly contributes to the control of cerebrovascular tone in both healthy and diseased states.

Tractography delineates microstructural changes in the trigeminal nerve after focal radiosurgery for trigeminal neuralgia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 PURPOSE: Focal radiosurgery is a common treatment modality for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), a neuropathic facial pain condition. Assessment of treatment effectiveness is primarily clinical, given the paucity of investigational tools to assess trigeminal ...

Understanding novel neuromodulation pathways in tDCS: brain stem recordings in rats during trigeminal nerve direct current stimulation [PDF]
Translational PsychiatrytDCS is widely assumed to cause neuromodulation via the electric field in the cortex acting directly on cortical neurons. However, recent evidence suggests that tDCS may indirectly influence brain activity through cranial nerve pathways, notably the ...

Anesthesia Dolorosa of Trigeminal Nerve, a Rare Complication of Acoustic Neuroma Surgery [PDF]
Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2014 Anesthesia dolorosa is an uncommon deafferentation pain that can occur after traumatic or surgical injury to the trigeminal nerve. This creates spontaneous pain signals without nociceptive stimuli.

Neuralgias of the Trigeminal Nerve [PDF]
Pain Research and Management, 2000 Practitioners are often presented with patients who complain bitterly of facial pain. The trigeminal nerve is involved in four conditions that are sometimes mixed up. The four conditions ‐ trigeminal neuralgia, trigeminal neuropathic pain, postherpetic neuralgia and atypical facial pain ‐ are discussed under the headings of clinical features ...

Hemimasticatory spasm caused by single venous compression of the root of the trigeminal nerve: An MRI study for a case report and review of literature [PDF]
Radiology Case ReportsHemimasticatory spasm is a very rare disorder of the trigeminal nerve characterized by paroxysmal involuntary contraction of the jaw-closing muscles. Although its cause is not fully known, vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve is thought to be ...

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2022 Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic pain that occurs in the sensory supply region of the trigeminal nerve (V cranial nerve). The common etiology of trigeminal neuralgia is said to be vascular compression on the trigeminal nerve root.
