Abstract

Trigeminal neuralgia is a facial pain syndrome that occurs repeatedly and chronically on one side of the face following the distribution of the trigeminal nerve branches. Trigeminal neuralgia is estimated to be around 0.16%-0.3%, with an incidence rate of 4-29 people per 100,000 people/year, with a higher incidence in women than men (ratio 3:2). The incidence rate increases with age. The causes of trigeminal neuralgia are divided into two types, classic and symptomatic. The main mechanism of trigeminal neuralgia is compression by the intracranial blood vessels which causes damage to the protective covering of the nerves or is known as the process of demyelination. Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is pharmacotherapy, non-pharmacotherapy, surgery should be considered if treatment is ineffective, and preventive education.
三叉神经痛:简要回顾
三叉神经痛是一种随三叉神经分支分布而反复和慢性发生于面部一侧的面部疼痛综合征。三叉神经痛估计约为0.16%-0.3%,发病率为每10万人/年4-29人,女性发病率高于男性(比例为3:2)。发病率随年龄增长而增加。三叉神经痛的病因分为典型性和对症性两种。三叉神经痛的主要机制是受到颅内血管的压迫,导致神经的保护层受损,或称为脱髓鞘过程。三叉神经痛的治疗方法有药物治疗、非药物治疗,治疗无效应考虑手术治疗,并进行预防教育。
