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.

土耳其阿菲永卡拉希萨尔三叉神经痛和持续性特发性面部疼痛的发病率。

背景对三叉神经痛（TN）和顽固性特发性面痛（PIFP）患病率进行的人群研究非常罕见，有关土耳其三叉神经痛患病率的数据非常有限，而 PIFP 的患病率尚不清楚。本研究旨在确定TN和PIFP在土耳其的患病率。材料和方法这项基于人群的流行病学研究采用横断面和描述性设计，在土耳其阿菲永卡拉希萨尔市进行。通过使用自我评估表对 18 岁及以上的参与者进行筛查，以确定潜在的 TN 或 PIFP 患者。结果共有19237人参与了这项研究，其中17223人回答了调查问题。有 17 人被确诊为 TN，TN 患病率为 98.5/100,000。35名患者被诊断为PIFP，PIFP的患病率为每10万人中有202人。TN患者的平均年龄为（54.29±12.98）岁，PIFP患者的平均年龄为（49.80±16.10）岁，TN患者的男女比例为1.13/1，PIFP患者的男女比例为2.18/1。结论本研究首次报告了 PIFP 在土耳其的发病率。此外，与之前的研究相比，本研究发现 TN 的患病率要高得多。
