چکیده

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a common pain syndrome. The classic form (Type 1) is characterized by sudden onset of extreme, sporadic, burning or shock-like facial pain that is temporary or episodic [1]. The atypical form (Type 2), is characterized by constant aching, burning, stabbing pain of somewhat lower intensity than Type 1. The intensity of pain can be physically and mentally incapacitating [1-3]. Secondary Symptomatic Trigeminal Neuralgia results from demyelinating conditions such as multiple sclerosis [1, 4]. PostHerpetic Neuralgia results from herpes zoster or other viral outbreak [5, 6]. Further differentiation of such neuropathic pain can be a result from injury from facial trauma, oral or other surgery, cerebral vascular accident, or infection. This pain is described as dull, burning, or boring and is usually constant. Hypersensitivity, numbness and tingling are also signs of a damaged nerve [7, 8].
