Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation is the most commonly used percutaneous procedure to treat trigeminal neuralgia. This therapy less invasive, safe, and provides immediate results minimal side effects. study aims demonstrate potential of radiofrequency in management neuralgia pain.
 Case presentation: A 64-year-old man with recurrent was treated at Hasanuddin University Hospital. The pa...

Neuropathic pain is a common phenomenon that affects millions of people worldwide. Maxillofacial structures consist of various tissues that receive frequent stimulation during food digestion. The unique functions (masticatory process and facial expression) of the maxillofacial structure require the exquisite organization of both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Neuralgia is painful p...

BACKGROUND In patients with trigeminal neuralgia, results of clinical examination of sensory function are normal. Reflex and evoked potential studies have already provided information on large-afferent (non-nociceptive) function. Using laser-evoked potentials (LEP), the authors sought information on small-afferent (nociceptive) function. METHODS The brain potentials evoked by CO(2)-laser puls...

Typical trigeminal neuralgia, brief electric shock like pain along distribution of trigeminal nerve, is well documented in literature but not much is available about pre trigeminal neuralgia. Pre-trigeminal neuralgia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pain of dental origin because of its similar features.Symonds was the first person who noted dull, continuous and aching pain ...

A 68-year-old man underwent extraction of a left mandibular third molar and the mesial root of the left mandibular first molar by a dentist in November 2014 after suddenly developing toothache. In May 2015, he visited our clinic complaining of episodes of persistent pain in the left mandibular first molar, but could not give a clear description of the pain. Evoked pain was absent and there were...

We explored differences in postoperative pain relief achieved through decompression of the trigeminal nerve compressed by arteries and veins. Clinical characteristics, intraoperative findings, and postoperative curative effects were analyzed in 72 patients with trigeminal neuralgia who were treated by microvascular decompression. The patients were divided into arterial and venous compression gr...

BACKGROUND A number of different therapies have been used for postherpetic neuralgia. We decided to conduct a systematic review of existing randomized controlled trials. OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of available therapies for relieving the pain of established postherpetic neuralgia. METHODS We performed a systematic review, including meta-analysis, of existing randomized controlled t...

Trigeminal Neuralgia is a clinical presentation of different diseases, defined in the last edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) as “Classical Trigeminal Neuralgia” and “Painful Trigeminal Neuropathy”. In both groups typical and atypical clinical findings are present. They must be taking into consideration for defining a correct clinical diagnosis. In additi...

Neurovascular compression syndrome is generally caused by vascular at the root entry or exit zone of corresponding cranial nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia most frequent syndrome, followed hemifacial spasm. Despite ongoing debate in literature, pulsatile tinnitus also known to be a neurovascular resulting from vestibulocochlear Combined manifestations symptoms are very rare. We report case with simu...

Among the pain syndromes caused by damage to cranial nerves, trigeminal nerve pathology occupies main place. Trigeminal neuralgia is an exhausting condition characterized acute shooting recurrent in face. However, according modern classification of facial types, there also a distinction made for second type neuralgia, which mentioned alternates with dull, burning area innervation. Numerous clin...
