Facial pain is a complex disease with a number of possible etiologies. Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is defined as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the trigeminal branch of the peripheral nervous system resulting in chronic facial pain over the distribution of the injured nerve.

متن کاملPeripheral nerve stimulation of the thoracic paravertebral plexus for chronic neuropathic pain.
Persistent post surgical pain is reported in 70% of patients following thoracotomy and mastectomy. This pain is often neuropathic in nature and occasionally it is refractory to traditional medical and interventional management. Neurostimulation of peripheral nerves can be a highly effective clinical modality for the management of neuropathic pain. The placement of a percutaneously sited electro...
متن کاملEffects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in patients with peripheral and central neuropathic pain.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) therapy on pain intensity and functional capacity in patients with either peripheral neuropathic pain or central neuropathic pain. METHODS A total of 40 patients (20 with peripheral neuropathic pain and 20 with central neuropathic pain) were included in this study. Pain severity, pain quality, ...
