Triggering trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

Cephalalgia, 2017
Introduction: Although it is widely accepted that facial pain paroxysms triggered by innocuous stimuli constitute a hallmark sign of trigeminal neuralgia, very few studies to date have systematically investigated the role of the triggers involved. In the

Trigeminal Neuralgia

Continuum, 2017
Although trigeminal neuralgia is well known to neurologists, recent developments in classification and clinical diagnosis, new MRI methods, and a debate about surgical options necessitate an update on the topic.Currently, a worldwide controversy exists regarding the classification, diagnostic process, and surgical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia ...

Treatment Options for Trigeminal Neuralgia

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2022
Trigeminal neuralgia causes severe to excruciating pain that often cannot be successfully reduced with current forms of treatment. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines trigeminal neuralgia as a sudden, usually unilateral ...

Exploring the correlation between GIRK proteins and pain behavior in trigeminal neuralgia in mice

生物医学转化, 2023
Objective Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common maxillofacial pain syndrome, and its etiology has not been fully understood. In this paper, we focus on the role and expression of G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel (GIRK) protein in ...

Historical aspects of the problem of treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and the role of neurosurgical methods in its solution (literature review)

Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2021
The trigeminal nerve is a mixed fifth cranial nerve, consisting of motor and sensory components. The sensitive component receives somesthetic information from the skin and mucous membranes of the face into the central nervous system, and the motor ...

The diagnostic value of pain evoked potential by electrical stimulation combined with noceciptive blink reflex in trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021
Microvascular decompression is the first choice for treating the primary trigeminal neuralgia to provide the most extended duration of pain freedom. However, in microvascular decompression, we found that this kind of operation is only suitable for ...

Trigeminal neuralgia: new classification and diagnostic grading for practice and research [PDF]

, 2016
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an exemplary condition of neuropathic facial pain. However, formally classifying TN as neuropathic pain based on the grading system of the International Association for the Study of Pain is complicated by the requirement of ...
