- Refers to any neuropathic pain of trigeminal nerve origin, including:
- Tic douloureux (TN)
- Neuralgia
Neuralgia
- Etiology is unclear and has been attributed to:
- Viral infection of the nerve ganglion
- Demyelination of intracranial nerve roots due to:
- Nerve compression by small vascular loop
- Narrowing of the nerve foramina
Other Terms
- Hyperesthesia: Increased sensitivity to all stimulation.
- Hypoalgesia: Diminished sensitivity to noxious stimulation.
- Hypoesthesia: Diminished sensitivity to all stimulation.
