Abstract

Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is orofacial pain restricted to one or more divisions of the trigeminal nerve Attacks of intense, electric shock-like facial pain can occur without warning or be triggered by touching specific areas of the face by movements, brushing, laughing or following emotional stimuli. The exact cause of trigeminal neuralgia is not fully elucidated, a blood vessel is often found compressing the nerve. TN dramatically reduces the quality of life of affected individuals not only due to pain attacks but also to other
disease-associated comorbidities, such as anxiety and depression. The Therapy used is often conservative with variable results.

Keywords: Pain, Anxiety, Carbamazepine, Stem cells, Microvascular decompression.
