Trigeminal neuralgia is characterized by paroxysmal episodes of facial pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. It can occur in either sex but is most frequently seen in women aged 50-60 years. This article presents case of trigeminal neuralgia in a 55-year-old female patient caused by meningioma of petroclival localization. The article underscores the importance of neurologic and neuroradiologic examination in diagnosing and managing patients with facial pain conditions.

This case series aimed to assess the treatment outcomes of onabotulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in patients with refractory posttraumatic trigeminal neuropathic pain (PTNP) and to conduct a narrative review of the evidence for BTX-A in PTNP. Thirteen patients were treated with BTX-A infiltrations. Patient demographic and pain characteristics, BTX-A administration, and treatment outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.

Pain assessment in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) mouse models is essential for exploring its pathophysiology and developing effective analgesics. However, pain assessment methods for TN mouse models have not been widely studied, resulting in a critical gap in our understanding of TN. With the rapid advancement of deep learning, numerous pain assessment methods based on deep learning have emerged.

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a prevalent and debilitating craniofacial pain disorder characterized by severe, unilateral, shock-like pain. Standard treatments include anti-epileptic drugs and surgical interventions, but many patients experience limited relief or adverse effects. Non-invasive therapies, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), have emerged as alternative options.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of diffusivity metrics of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) in the assessment of treatment effects.
Methods: MR-DTI examination for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients and the diffusivity metrics of the trigeminal ganglion (TG) were analyzed. Before and after the percutaneous stereotactic radiofrequency rhizotomy (PSR) operation, the treatment effect was assessed using pain scores and MR-DTI.
