there is no recommendation for the treatment of herpes zoster neuralgia in pregnancy, as it even sometimes needs administration of strong opioids.here, we report a pregnant woman with severe zoster neuralgia who responded favorably to acetaminophen. due to the drug's safe profile and good efficacy, acetaminophen can be used as an alternative for herpetic neuralgia in pregnant women. however, co...

conclusions this study demonstrated numerous clinical similarities of trigeminal neuralgia afflicting different populations. right side was more involved along with mandibular division the most commonly affected. however studies needs to be done to know the exact reasons of involvement of the affected side and branches. results the age of the patients varied from 40 to 80 years with a mean age ...

Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia is the most common type of cranial neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is a form of facial pain characterized by proximal lancinating pain confined to the somatosensory distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia is a rare situation with an incidence of 1% to 6% in large trigeminal neuralgia series. There is no single or standard method for t...

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. As therapeutic options have subsequently changed, this study presents updated data on incidence and prescribing patterns in neuropathic pain....

BACKGROUND In neurosurgery, the most common type of facial and pharyngeal pain is trigeminal neuralgia. In contrast, glossopharyngeal neuralgia is relatively rare, and laryngeal neuralgia is the most rarely observed. CASE PRESENTATION A case of laryngeal neuralgia combined with intermediate nerve neuralgia that was admitted to our hospital in May 2012 was reported here. The patient was a 58-y...

Objective – to summarize the various hypotheses regarding development of Trigeminal Neuralgia with a brief discussion about causes for its co-existence Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia, which has been seen infrequently. Summary background - Cranial nerve neuralgia is one most common pain syndromes attributed extreme (extremely) detrimental effects on middle age population who are more productive. The...

This review discusses about the medical management of trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia is the most common form of neuralgia. Management of trigeminal neuralgia is based on either on chemotherapy or on surgical management. Anticonvulsants are considered as most effective in the treating trigeminal neuralgia. Carbamazepine is considered as most efficient and primary drug for treating th...

Patients with herpes zoster can develop persistent pain after rash healing, a complication known as postherpetic neuralgia. By preventing zoster through vaccination, the risk of this common complication is reduced. We searched MEDLINE and Embase for studies assessing risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia, with a view to informing vaccination policy. Nineteen prospective studies were identifie...
