Triggers
could be considered as an important feature for diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia
as paroxysmal pain was found to be linked with triggers in all patients with
trigeminal neuralgia
Even though
it is extensively obtained that for trigeminal neuralgia, facial pain paroxysms
triggered by innocuous stimuli constitute a hallmark sign, very few evaluations
to explain that systematically investigated the triggers role which involved.
In the published diagnostic classification, for the diagnosis of trigeminal
neuralgia triggered pain is an essential criterion, but no study to address
this issue directly to date has been depicted. In this study, Giulia, D.S. et
al. to determine, patients with trigeminal neuralgia, and how frequently causes
are present, which manoeuvres actuate them and where cutaneous and mucosal
trigger zones are located. In a cross-sectional study design, 140 patients with
trigeminal neuralgia collected for clinical characteristics focusing on trigger
factors, Provocation of paroxysmal pain
by various trigger manoeuvres was reported by 136 of the 140 patients. The most
frequent movements were a gentle touching of the face (79%) and talking (54%),
and trigger zones predominantly reported in the perioral and nasal region.
Evaluated assessment assures that in trigeminal neuralgia, paroxysmal pain is
corresponding with triggers effectively in all patients to supports the use of
triggers as an essential diagnostic feature of trigeminal neuralgia.
