The results of antiinflammatory radiation therapy were analyzed in 17 patients with trigeminal neuralgia and 7 patients with post-neuritic++ contractures of mimetic muscles. The therapy yielded positive results and was adequately tolerated by all patients. In the follow-up, no changes of the patients' general status or hematological indices were detected.

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.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is chronic pain caused by damage to the somatosensorial system on the trigeminal nerve or its branches, which involves peripheral and central dysfunction pain pathways. Trigeminal pain triggers disruptive pain in regions of the face, including within and around the mouth. Besides clinical experiences, translating the language of suffering into scientific terminology presents substantial challenges.

: Orofacial pain (OFP) encompasses a complex array of conditions affecting the face, mouth, and jaws, often leading to significant diagnostic challenges and high rates of misdiagnosis. Artificial intelligence, particularly large language models like GPT4 (OpenAI, San Francisco, CA, USA), offers potential as a diagnostic aid in healthcare settings. : To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of GPT4 in OFP cases as a clinical decision support system (CDSS) and compare its performance against treating clinicians, expert evaluators, medical students, and general practitioners.

A patient with trigeminal neuralgia due to venous compression was successfully treated by transposition achieved by drilling the suprameatal tubercle. A 53-year-old woman presented with classical trigeminal neuralgia affecting the maxillary division of the right trigeminal nerve. MRI and CT revealed a bony prominence, called the suprameatal tubercle, above the opening of the internal acoustic meatus.
