AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) in Türkiye, addressing a significant gap in existing data.
- A total of 19,237 individuals participated, with TN found in 17 people (98.5 per 100,000) and PIFP in 35 people (202 per 100,000).
- This research represents the first report on PIFP prevalence in Türkiye and revealed a notably higher prevalence of TN compared to earlier studies.
Article Abstract
Background: Population-based studies examining the prevalence of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) are rare, and data on TN prevalence in Türkiye are very limited, with the prevalence of PIFP being unknown. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of TN and PIFP in Türkiye.
Materials And Methods: This population-based epidemiological study has a cross-sectional and descriptive design, and it was carried out in Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye. Participants aged 18 years and older were screened by using a self-assessment form to determine potential patients with TN or PIFP.
Results: A total of 19,237 individuals were included in this study, of which 17,223 responded to the survey questions. TN was diagnosed in 17 individuals, and the prevalence of TN was calculated as 98.5 per 100,000. PIFP was diagnosed in 35 patients, and the prevalence of PIFP was calculated as 202 per 100,000. The mean age of the patients with TN was 54.29 ± 12.98 years, the mean age of patients with PIFP was 49.80 ± 16.10 years, and the female-to-male ratio was 1.13/1 for TN and 2.18/1 for PIFP.
Conclusion: The prevalence of PIFP in Türkiye has been reported for the first time by this study. Additionally, a much higher prevalence of TN was found when compared to previous study.

A painful or non-painful trigeminal nerve lesion brought on by trauma that exhibits symptoms and/or clinical evidence of trigeminal nerve dysfunction is known as painful post-traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PTTN). In relation to this, the term post-traumatic persistent dentoalveolar pain (PDAP) is an idiopathic condition of chronic neuropathic origin that manifests as a diagnostic challenge for dental practitioners. Neuropathic pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as "pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction in the nervous system.

Background: Persistent Idiopathic Facial Pain (PIFP), previously named Atypical Facial Pain (AFP) is a poorly understood condition, often diagnosed after several inconclusive investigations. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with PIFP referred to a Facial Pain Center.
Methods: Between May 2011 and September 2014, data on 41 PIFP patients were analyzed regarding temporal, topographical and descriptive pain features, including onset, localization, pain descriptors and intensity.
