Improvement of Trigeminal Neuralgia Following Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy in a Patient With Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Acta Medica Iranica, 2020
Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) has rarely been reported to be associated with trigeminal neuralgia (TN). We report a case of NPH with trigeminal neuralgia, whose symptoms completely resolved after endoscopic third ventriculostomy.

Low-dose Fosphenytoin for Aborting Acute Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain: A Case Report

Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2023
Introduction: While the typical treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is carbamazepine, the dose must be gradually titrated over time to achieve pain control, which makes the drug a less than ideal candidate for treatment for acute exacerbation of pain due ...

Trigeminal neuralgia: An overview from pathophysiology to pharmacological treatments

Molecular Pain, 2020
The trigeminal nerve (V) is the fifth and largest of all cranial nerves, and it is responsible for detecting sensory stimuli that arise from the craniofacial area. The nerve is divided into three branches: ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (

Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging to Evaluate Microstructural Changes and Outcomes after Radiofrequency Rhizotomy of Trigeminal Nerves in Patients with Trigeminal Neuralgia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by facial pain that may be sudden, intense, and recurrent. Our aim was to investigate microstructural tissue changes of the trigeminal nerve in patients with trigeminal neuralgia resulting from neurovascular ...

Primary care incidence and treatment of four neuropathic pain conditions: A descriptive study, 2002–2005

BMC Family Practice, 2008
Background Between 1992 and 2001 the UK general practice incidence of post-herpetic neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia declined, whilst the incidence of painful diabetic neuropathy increased. The most common first line treatments were compound analgesics.
