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

Case report: Teflon granuloma following microvascular decompression manifesting as light-triggered trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
Frontiers in Surgery, 2022 Trigeminal Neuralgia is commonly triggered by stimuli in the area of the trigeminal nerve innervation. We report an exceptionally rare case of a 61-year-old woman who complained of recurrent trigeminal neuralgia, which sole trigger was seeing a bright ...

Classical trigeminal neuralgia is associated with gephyrin and sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 8 [PDF]
Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2023 Trigeminal neuralgia is highly debilitating, and its etiology is still undefined. The goal of this work was to define associations between well-characterized trigeminal neuralgia cases and common genetic variants in the population.

Trigeminal neuralgia - diagnosis and treatment [PDF]
Cephalalgia, 2017 Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by touch-evoked unilateral brief shock-like paroxysmal pain in one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve. In addition to the paroxysmal pain, some patients also have continuous pain.
