Neuropathic pain has multiple etiologies, but a major feature is small fiber dysfunction or
damage. Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a rapid non-invasive ophthalmic imaging …

Background Trigeminal neuralgia is a severe facial pain disorder. Microvascular
decompression is first choice surgical treatment of patients with classical TN. There exist few …

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a facial pain disorder characterized by intense and paroxysmal
pain that profoundly affects quality of life and presents complex challenges in diagnosis and …

Purpose Neurovascular compression (NVC) is considered as the main factor leading to the
classical trigeminal neuralgia (CTN), and a part of idiopathic TN (ITN) may be caused by …

Magnetic resonance-diffusion tensor imaging (MR-DTI) has been used in the microvascular
decompression and gamma knife radiosurgery in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) patients; …

Trigeminal neuralgia is a heterogeneous disorder with likely multifactorial and complex
etiology; however, trigeminal nerve demyelination and injury are observed in almost all …

Background This study aimed to explore the risk factors and potential causes of unilateral
classical or idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (C-ITN) by comparing patients and healthy …

Objective To investigate the altered trends of regional homogeneity (ReHo) based on time
and frequency, and clarify the time-frequency characteristics of ReHo in 48 classical …

BACKGROUND: Facial neuropathic pain syndromes such as trigeminal neuralgia are
debilitating disorders commonly managed by medications, vascular decompression, and/or …

Objective: To investigate the subtle differences in the structure of the unaffected trigeminal
nerve between patients with classic trigeminal neuralgia (CTN) and healthy controls (HCs) …
